Bihar voter list revision: Congress claims it submitted 89 lakh complaints but EC rejected all

The Congress on Sunday claimed that the party’s booth-level agents had submitted 89 lakh complaints of irregularities during the special intensive revision of Bihar’s electoral rolls, but the Election Commission rejected all.

However, the Bihar chief electoral officer rejected the claim, saying that no booth-level agent of the Congress had submitted any objection on any name in the draft electoral rolls published on August 1 in the prescribed format.

Speaking during a press conference, Congress leader Pawan Khera said: “The Election Commission keeps getting news planted through its sources that no complaints are coming from any political party. The truth is that the Congress submitted 89 lakh complaints pertaining to irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls.”
