Minister Criticizes Congress Over Bihar Electoral Roll Revision
Imagine the voter list in Bihar is being updated.
Some people are worried that the update is unfair and might leave out some voters.
A minister named Pralhad Joshi pointed out that this process is normal and that Rahul Gandhi, from the opposition, had asked for the list to be corrected in the first place.
But now, the opposition is unhappy, claiming the corrections are not fair, with some voters possibly being removed.
One of the opposition leaders, Tejashwi Yadav, has reached out to other political parties, seeking their support regarding this matter, which is expected to be discussed in the Parliament.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi criticized Congress regarding the Bihar electoral roll revision.
Joshi stated the revision process (SIR) mirrors past procedures, differing only technologically.
Opposition parties in Bihar voice concerns that their supporters are being excluded in the revision.
Rahul Gandhi previously wrote a letter about voter list discrepancies, says Joshi.
Tejashwi Yadav, an ally of Congress, sought support from 35 major parties concerning the revision.
