Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has raised pointed questions to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. His queries, articulated on social media platform X, revolve around the proportion of the state's adult population included in the voter list, citing concerns over approximately 5.2 lakh duplicate entries.
Chidambaram emphasized that, while he does not directly accuse the EC of any misconduct, the people of India deserve clarity on these electoral discrepancies. He cited official estimates suggesting 90.7% inclusion of the adult population in electoral rolls, questioning the exclusion of the remaining 9.3% and highlighting issues such as blank or invalid house numbers exceeding 2,00,000 entries.
