This episode of To The Point focuses on the Supreme Court’s upcoming hearing on the challenge against the Election Commission’s special intensive revision of the voter list in poll-bound Bihar. The Mahagatbandhan, including leaders like Tejasvi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, staged a march to the Election Commission’s office in Patna, protesting the revision process. The opposition alleges that the revision is anti-people and could disenfranchise marginalized communities. The BJP accuses the opposition of protecting illegal voters. The Election Commission claims the revision aims to purify the electoral rolls, but concerns remain about the timing and the potential impact on voters’ rights. The Mahagathbandhan alliance is protesting against the move, calling it discriminatory and questioning the need for voters to submit additional documents beyond Aadhaar. The BJP has defended the EC’s decision, stating it aims to weed out illegal voters. Key issues raised include the short timeline for the exercise, concerns about disenfranchisement of migrant workers, and questions about why similar intensive revisions are not being conducted nationwide. The matter is now before the Supreme Court, with a hearing scheduled. Political parties have presented contrasting views on the necessity and fairness of this voter verification process in Bihar.
