[*]Congress accused the Election Commission of lacking transparency and integrity in the Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, alleging it failed to reveal how many non-citizens were removed from voter rolls.
[*]The EC denied bias, asserting its commitment to fair voter lists, as Bihar prepares for two-phase polls on November 6 and 11, with counting on November 14
The Congress on Tuesday criticised the Election Commission (EC) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar, alleging that the poll body had failed to provide transparency on the removal of non-citizens from the electoral roll despite making much of the need for the process.
The party said that had the EC disclosed how many non-citizens were actually removed, it "would have been even more exposed than it already is."
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh noted that the Supreme Court hearing on the Bihar SIR exercise resumed on Tuesday and shared on X an analysis of the exercise published in a newspaper.
"This fine analysis shows that the entire SIR exercise bulldozed through by the Election Commission has failed on all three counts of completeness, equity, and accuracy," Ramesh said.
