CEC Defends Bihar Voter Roll Revision Amid Opposition Protests

CEC Defends Bihar Voter Roll Revision Amid Opposition Protests

The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of India, Gyanesh Kumar, is defending a cleanup of voter lists in Bihar.

He's asking if it's right to keep dead people, those with duplicate IDs, or foreigners on the list.

Some political groups are upset, saying many voters might lose their right to vote because of this cleanup.

The Election Commission says they found a lot of voters who shouldn't be on the list.

One politician even said they might skip the next election if they think it's unfair.

The CEC believes having a clean and accurate voter list is important for fair elections and a strong democracy.
