Day Before SC Hearing, Rahul Sees ECI's Bid for 'Maha Rerun' in Bihar

A day before the Supreme Court is slated to hear a batch of petitions challenging the special poll roll revision in Bihar, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) was trying to replicate the Maharashtra model in Bihar by tampering with the electoral rolls ahead of the assembly polls due in October-November.

Addressing workers of the opposition INDIA bloc near the Vidhan Sabha gate here on Wednesday, Rahul warned the ECI that it would face legal consequences if it attempted to repeat the 'Maharashtra episode' in Bihar. He said though the ECI had wide powers, it was not above the law.
