Dipankar Bhattacharya, general secretary of CPI(ML) Liberation, accused the Election Commission of conducting a "surgical strike" on Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, leading to alleged voter manipulations.
The remarks, made during a press conference alongside Mahila Congress chief Alka Lamba, concern the Voter Adhikar Yatra initiative spearheaded by Rahul Gandhi. Bhattacharya alleged rampant crime in Bihar, highlighting public outrage sparked by a recent hospital murder in Patna.
Amidst claims of a conspiracy to commit 'vote theft', the public's dissatisfaction grows as marginalized communities like the Dalits face systemic oppression. The Voter Adhikar Yatra advocates for transparency in the electoral process, calling for the publication of the voter list and monitoring of polling activities.
