New Delhi, Oct 5: The Congress party on Sunday accused the Election Commission of deliberately removing names of Dalit and Muslim women voters from the electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar during the recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
At a press conference in the capital, All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba claimed that nearly 22.7 lakh women voters were removed, primarily in six districts across 60 constituencies, which she said were crucial battlegrounds during the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections. According to Lamba, the deleted names are part of a "well-planned conspiracy" to swing the balance in favour of the ruling NDA alliance.
Lamba further alleged that over 38 lakh voters in total — including 15 lakh men — were removed
