Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar stressed the necessity of accurate electoral rolls for democracy during a training session, amid controversy over Bihar’s voter list revision. Opposition parties are contesting the revision in the Supreme Court, citing concerns of disenfranchisement and lack of transparency, while the Election Commission defends the process as essential for electoral integrity.
RJD MP Manoj Jha has moved the Supreme Court against the ECI’s Bihar voter list revision, alleging mass disenfranchisement of marginalised groups. He called the rushed process exclusionary and a threat to democracy.
