JD(U) MP Criticizes EC's Electoral Roll Revision in Bihar
Imagine the Election Commission is updating voter lists in Bihar.
A politician named Giridhari Yadav is upset because he thinks the timing is bad.
He says the EC isn't giving people enough time to get the necessary documents because it's farming season and some areas are flooded.
He feels the EC should have done this work earlier and that this process is causing problems for people.
JD(U) MP Giridhari Yadav criticized the Election Commission's (EC) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Yadav called the SIR a "Tughlaqi farman (ill-conceived diktat)".
He stated the EC gave very little time for the exercise, conflicting with farming and flood seasons.
Yadav mentioned it took him 10 days to get papers for the EC drive.
He questioned the EC's actions since the Lok Sabha polls a year ago.
