Bihar Voter List Revision Sparks Political Debate

In a heated political debate, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan criticized the opposition for the 'double standards' they've taken concerning voter list revisions in Bihar. With accusations of past discrepancies lingering, the discussion highlights differing perspectives on electoral integrity.

JD(U) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha advocated for the Election Commission's process, emphasizing its importance in preventing bogus voting. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is an effort by the EC to correct voter rolls by eliminating ineligible and duplicate entries.

Paswan pointed out the opposition's past grievances over voter list inconsistencies, especially after the Lok Sabha and Maharashtra elections. Jha, meanwhile, underscored the necessity of SIR, asserting that it ensures fairness and accuracy, dismissing fears of opposition as a response to potential electoral outcomes.
