Bihar Voter List Controversy: BJP, RJD Clash Over Alleged Foreign Nationals
Tensions are running high in Bihar amidst a heated political debate surrounding alleged illegal foreign nationals included on voter lists. The controversy ignited when reports surfaced regarding these alleged discrepancies, leading to a sharp exchange between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
BJP Demands Apology from Tejashwi Yadav
BJP leader Sanjay Jaiswal strongly criticized RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav for dismissing the reports of illegal foreign nationals on the voter lists. Jaiswal labeled Yadav’s response as “uneducated” and “irresponsible,” demanding a public apology for his remarks. He accused Yadav of downplaying a serious issue concerning the integrity of the electoral process.
RJD Questions Election Commission’s Timing and Intent
Tejashwi Yadav, however, questioned the timing and intent behind the Election Commission’s revision of the voter lists. He expressed concerns that the move was politically motivated, designed to create confusion and possibly disenfranchise legitimate voters. Yadav characterized the exercise as an “eyewash” and suggested ulterior motives were at play.
The Controversy Continues
The clash between the two parties continues to escalate, raising questions about the validity of the voter lists and the potential impact on upcoming elections. The Election Commission has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the concerns raised by both parties.
