NEW DELHI: Continued accusations from NGO-petitioners that the Election Commission deleted names from the Bihar voter record after the special intensive revision made EC retort within the Supreme Court that each one political events have expressed satisfaction with the train and that not a single enchantment has been filed in opposition to the deletion of names. The bench mentioned, “There are people living unauthorisedly in the state. They do not want to expose themselves by filing appeals against deletion of their names. Let hundred people file affidavits and tell the court that they want to file an appeal against deletion of their names.”
The last Bihar voter record contained 7.4 crore names. SIR noticed the deletion of 65 lakh voters within the draft voters record. Subsequently, one other 3.7 lakh names have been deleted, and 21.5 lakh voters, principally new ones, have been added. The Supreme Court requested EC to present it with the details of 3.7 lakh excluded voters. With EC counsel Rakesh Dwivedi insisting that the NGO represented by Prashant Bhushan ought to file affidavits by people alleging that their names have been deleted with out intimation, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi puzzled, “For whom was this exercise undertaken (by the NGO)?”
