IN ITS DAILY statements since August 1, the Election Commission of India has been maintaining that none of the 1.6 lakh booth-level agents (BLAs) appointed by political parties have filed any claims and objections to the draft electoral roll that was recently published as part of Bihar's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

- DAMINI NATH, SANTOSH SINGH & ASAD REHMAN Darbhanga/Ara/ Aurangabad, August 19

Yet, on the ground, the BLAs — political workers meant to be the party's eyes and ears on the ground at the Assembly constituency and booth-level — say they have been actively raising objections: from alleged duplication of voters to 'fake voters' and those whose names were allegedly mistakenly deleted or declared dead.
