Bihar Elections: JDU MP Criticized, Opposition Mulls Boycott Over Electoral Roll
The JDU party is upset with one of their members, Giridhari Yadav, for speaking out against how the government is updating the voter list in Bihar.
He thinks the process is bad.
Meanwhile, other parties like RJD and Congress are threatening to skip the upcoming elections if they think the voter list updates are unfair.
They claim the process has issues, like errors and misuse of forms, that could affect the election's fairness.
The government is being accused of not being impartial by opposition leaders.
JDU issued a showcause notice to MP Giridhari Yadav for criticizing the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.
The notice cited Yadav's comments as embarrassing to the party and lending credibility to opposition allegations.
Yadav called the electoral roll revision a "Tughlaqi firman" and criticized the Election Commission's lack of knowledge.
RJD and Congress are considering boycotting upcoming Bihar polls if the electoral roll revision continues.
Opposition alleges discrepancies in the revision process, citing issues with voter enumeration and potential misuse of forms.
