Why are the opposition parties coming out on the streets, what is the issue of disturbances in the voter list?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Bandh on 9th July: Political stirring in Bihar is fast these days. In this episode, opposition parties have announced a shutdown across Bihar on 9 July, challenging the ruling party JDU-BJP alliance. The main issue of this shutdown is being reported in the Voter List of the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. RJD, Congress and Left parties (Left parties) have alleged that the voter list is being arbitrarily cut and large -scale disturbances are being done.

What are the serious allegations of the opposition?

Opposition parties, especially RJD, have raised their voice many times before this issue. Their main allegations are:

1. Names cut off: Opposition parties claim that the names of a large number of voters have been deliberately cut in the voter lists being formed for the Lok Sabha elections 2024. These are voters who have voter ID cards, but their names are missing from the list.

2. Names of ‘dead’ and ‘external’ voters: The surprising allegation is that the names of those people have been included in the voter list who are either dead, or do not live in Bihar and reside elsewhere. It can become a large means of fake voting.

3. List on old census: Opposition parties are demanding that the voter list be prepared on the basis of the 2021 census. They allege that the list is being prepared on the basis of the 2011 census, which does not match the actual status of the current population and address of the state. This can deprive a large number of new and transferred voter list.

4. Election Commission guidelines ignored: There is a clear guideline of the Election Commission to conduct house-to-house survey and special camps should be organized while amending the voter list and setting up special camps so that every voter’s name can be added correctly. Opposition parties say that these guidelines are not being properly followed in Bihar.

Which will be the heat?

The opposition’s charge is directly on the electoral process and administration in the state. He says that such disturbances will harm the democratic process and question the fairness of elections. The Bihar bandh of 9 July will try to put pressure on the government, so that the voter list is updated properly.

Impact of bandh: General life will have an impact

The general life is expected to have a major impact during the Bihar bandh on July 9.
