Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha welcomes Supreme Court’s decision allowing voter list revision in Bihar; questions opposition’s stance on constitutional institutions.
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.
Mahua Moitra has challenged the Election Commission of India’s voter list revision in Bihar, labeling it unconstitutional. She argues it unfairly targets poorer voters and migrants, potentially disenfranchising many. Her petition emphasizes that new citizenship documentation requirements exceed legal limits, risking the exclusion of legitimate voters ahead of elections.
