Opposition Raises Concerns Over Bihar Voter Roll Shrinkage
Some people are worried about changes to the voter list in Bihar.
They say that the number of people who can vote seems to be getting smaller, even though the population is growing.
They're afraid that some people might be removed from the list unfairly, which could stop them from voting.
