Tejashwi hit out at ECI
Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav lashed out at the Election Commission of India (ECI) for not addressing concerns regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being carried out in the state, which the RJD leader has claimed is being used to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) win the upcoming Bihar polls by denying poor people their right to vote.
The RJD leader also claimed that the Narendra Modi-led Centre will impose President’s rule in the state to consolidate power. Hitting out at the poll panel for not clarifying the doubts of political parties, Yadav told ANI, “Two days after the (SIR) notification itself, we have asked the Election Commission that our mahagathbandan, the alliance, wants to meet with you, a delegation wants to meet with you. Though the sad thing that in the state in which elections will happen, if Opposition wants to meet with Election Commission to raise doubts for clarity but Election Commission not giving a time for meeting itself.”
ECI’s meeting deferred
The remarks of Yadav were made on the day ECI was supposed to meet a multi party delegation to talk about the SIR exercise, however that meeting had been postponed.
One President’s rule, the former deputy Chief Minister claimed, “I feel that they will impose President’s rule, in the coming months there is a big conspiracy, Modi will impose president’s rule and take it all in his hands. It is such a big issue that voting rights are being taken away and EC is not meeting, what else do we do? Where is justice? This is injustice,” he added.
The RJD leader also claimed that voting rights being allegedly taken away is just the first step, with the BJP coming for people’s pensions and rations later on.
