In fact, the fear we had came to pass. A crazy, crazy decree – is definitely released in Tughlaq’s jealousy – Delhi. It is land in Bihar and all hells are loose. Now when the genie is out of the bottle and it is impossible to include the Election Commission of India’s ‘special intensive’ dirt, it is busy making a cover-up story.

In the morning papers, ECI puts an advertisement. In the evening, it releases a denial.

Reports reporting from different parts of Bihar are deeply upset. But instead of addressing the problem on the ground, the Commission wants to shoot Messenger – and advertise it by advertising the absurd numbers. Once the most trusted in the country has become a joke.

Currently, the Election Commission of India is time to ask time to ask about some blunt questions:

#1

When the new CEC (Chief Election Commissioner) took over, ECI performed a song and dance about its commitment to ‘counseling and dialogue’ about holding more than 4,000 meetings with political parties in two months. Question: In any of those meetings, have you also indicated that you were planning a ‘special intensive amendment’ of the entire country’s voter list? Before taking such dramatic steps, should you not have consulted political parties across the country – especially in Bihar, where elections were going to be held soon?

*** Focus on readers ***

Thanks to ECI’s dodi ‘explanation’ and shifting story, in the event of confusion among voters in Bihar when our print version of July 13, in which this article was to be published, went to press. We stopped production to focus on the intervention of the Supreme Court on Thursday, 10 July.

Therefore, we note that the court has also allowed the SIR to continue, as it has questioned the time of practice and the location of ECI to verify citizenship. The court urged the ECI to accept Aadhaar, Voter ID and PDS ration cards as valid documents – or to explain why they were not valid.

The ECI is to respond by 21 July and the next court hearing is on 28 July. This article continues below …

Since 2003, the Election Commission had abolished intensive amendments – that is, a completely fresh electoral roll.

What did you inspire to reverse that decision?

The reasons you have introduced – urbanization, migration, duplicate entries – can those people not be addressed through special and fully amendment of the existing role? Why throw the old list out and start with scratches?

Did the Election Commission assess professionals and opposition before taking this decision? Was there any internal consultation? Can that file be made public?

#3

You have chosen to make this latest amendment in the 2003 voter list. But this list was also made by modifying an old list. Subsequently, voters were not asked to produce evidence either.

So does the 2003 list ‘authentic’ and what makes people create after that suspect? From that argument, is the Election Commission acknowledging that a flawed voter list was used in every election held after 2003?

#4

For those in the 2003 list, you are asking for one of the 11 specific documents. Is the Election Commission confident that every Indian citizen has at least one of these documents? Has the Commission investigated what percentage of people in Bihar? If yes, why not continue that data?

And if not, then why ignore the word of experts who have shown – using government data – that half of the population of Bihar does not have these documents?

#5

Why does the Election Commission not accept general documents like Aadhaar, Ration Card or MGNREGA job card – which are the most common folk? What is the difference between these and 11 ‘legitimate’ documents? If the residence certificate issued against Aadhaar is valid, then why not the Aadhaar card? And why will the Commission not accept its own photo ID card?

#6

Why did you choose Bihar to launch this ‘special intensive amendment’ practice – and exactly four months before the election?

Did you not already complete the amendment of Bihar’s voter list in December? Was there any major complaint of fraud from any political party about that list? Like Maharashtra, Bihar saw a sudden, inexplicable leap in voter numbers? Did any party or group demand that the list be abolished?

#7

Why was this large instruction implemented to apply only 12 hours notice? Do you really believe that you can issue an order from Delhi in the evening and start distributing the form the next morning at 97,000 polling booths in Bihar? Don’t you know how much time does it take to print the form for the names of 8,00,00,000 (8 crore)? Or that of those 97,000 booths, 20,000 did not have booth level officers (BLOS) – and still not, on two weeks?

#8

Why only one month to meet such a large and complex exercise? Is there anything on this scale – to affect crores of people – ever drawn in a month? Bihar caste survey, in which people did not need to fill the form or submit documents, took five months. And now you think you will pull a miracle in a month – between monsoon and flood season? What world do you live in?

#9

Suppose you have made a mistake – whether in a hurry or pressure. Why not just accept it? Why these endless excuses? You are well aware that this amendment has nothing to do with duplicate voters out. So why did such flirtatious arguments be removed? How many complaints have been received by the Commission about illegal foreign nationals in the new 2025 voter role of Bihar? If no one, why use as an excuse?

#10

You fully know that among the voters of 4.96 crore voters in the 2003 Bihar list, some are either dead or left the state. Why keep repeating that 4.96 crore people will not have to show documents? Is this lie an institution like ECI?

#11

You are recently releasing derogatory data every day – and people are laughing at you. Barely half the population has also received the form, yet you claim that 36 percent have already been filled and have submitted their forms!

If this is true, why not publish the name? If not – who are you trying to fool?

Or as they can say in Snippy Bihari style: Astu molecule, the pub tun is understood to be the brothers of the tun
