Everyone has their Own Claims and Opinions on Voter List Verification in Bihar

Ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections scheduled in a few months, the Election Commission's step to initiate a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list has triggered a political storm.

Opposition parties have termed this process as an attack on democracy and a conspiracy to snatch away voting rights from the poor, Dalits, backward classes, and minority communities. On the other hand, the Election Commission is presenting it as a regular and constitutional process, defending its position. This controversy has now reached from the Election Commission office in Delhi to the Supreme Court and has become a major political issue in Bihar. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the matter on July 10.
