Bihar Voter List Row: BJP Slams Congress’s Aadhaar Hypocrisy
A political clash has erupted in Bihar over proposed voter list revisions, with the BJP accusing the Congress party of blatant hypocrisy regarding the use of Aadhaar.
Supreme Court Suggestion Sparks Debate
The controversy began after the Supreme Court suggested the Election Commission consider using Aadhaar for Bihar’s electoral roll revision. This sparked strong reactions, particularly from the BJP, who point to Congress’s historical stance on the issue.
From Opposition to Advocacy?
The BJP highlights Congress’s previous strong opposition to linking Voter ID with Aadhaar. They now allege that Congress is demanding Aadhaar be used as proof of citizenship during the revision process. The BJP claims this sudden shift in stance reveals Congress’s double standards and raises concerns about potential enfranchisement of non-citizens. The BJP questions whether this move is a political maneuver or a genuine concern for electoral integrity.
