This episode of To The Point delves into the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, a process that has ignited significant political controversy. The Election Commission (EC) justifies the exercise as a necessary cleanup, citing over 52 lakh untraceable voters, including deceased and duplicate entries. However, opposition parties such as the RJD, Congress, and the INDIA bloc argue that it is a ‘voter exclusion drive’ aimed at disenfranchising migrants, minorities, and the poor through stringent documentation rules and a tight deadline during the monsoon season. The controversy has led to stalled proceedings in both Parliament and the Bihar Assembly. RJD spokesperson Dr. Jayant Jigyasu has criticized the revision as being maliciously intended to obstruct the voting rights of weaker sections. The matter is currently before the Supreme Court, with a hearing scheduled for July 28th. An in-depth ground report from Kishanganj reveals how officials are segregating voters based on their presence on the 2003 electoral list, creating a high-suspicion category for those unable to prove their lineage. #biharpolitics #voterlist #sir #itwebvideos #tothepoint #electioncommission #votebandi #parliament #indiabloc #oppositionprotest #democracy #voterrights #indiatoday #bihar #elections #supremecourt #voterverification #disenfranchisement #kishanganj #rjd #bjp #congressSubscribe
