A contentious electoral roll revision exercise in Bihar is facing significant opposition. Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj India terms the process unconstitutional, arguing it is not a revision but a ‘de novo’ writing of the voter list, shifting the onus of proving citizenship onto every voter for the first time in 75 years. He claims the exercise is a "blot on our democracy" and alleges the official submission figures from the Election Commission are fraudulent. "This is disenfranchisement of the kind that no country in the world has witnessed in the 21st century," Yadav states. The concerns raised include Booth Level Officers (BLOs) filling forms without visiting households, the absence of receipts for voters, and the specific difficulties faced by women, migrant workers, and the poor in producing the required documents. The process is being challenged in court, with calls for the Election Commission to provide clarity amidst the controversy. #bihar #electioncommission #voterlist #itwebvideos #yogendrayadav #disenfranchisement #voterrights #democracy #citizenship #biharpolitics #indianpolitics #blo #seemanchal #womensrights #elections
