Opposition Unites: Urgent Call for Bihar Voter List Revision Debate in Lok Sabha

Several Opposition parties, led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, have urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to hold a special discussion on Bihar's voter list revision. They express concerns about transparency and timing, fearing impacts on the upcoming state assembly elections and potential disenfranchisement.

Opposition parties, including Congress, have written to the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, pressing for a special discussion on the voter list revision in Bihar. They argue the timing, just months before state elections, raises questions about transparency and intent.

In the letter signed by top leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Gaurav Gogoi, and others, the Opposition expressed their alarm at the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. They highlight concerns about the implications for voting rights and election fairness if conducted nationwide.

The Opposition has repeatedly raised this issue, demanding prompt attention from the government to ensure transparency and electoral accountability. Despite ongoing protests, no Parliamentary debate has been scheduled yet.
