In a recent critique, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi highlighted alleged discrepancies in Bihar's draft electoral rolls, suggesting a whole village appeared to be registered under a single household in the Gaya district.
Gandhi, leading the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', questioned the integrity of the Election Commission in a social media post referencing Nidani village, where 947 voters were reportedly shown as residents of house number six.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar responded, explaining that a notional house number is often used in areas lacking distinct house numbers, aiming to clarify the listing of voters and mitigate perceived irregularities.
