NEW DELHI: Raising questions about SIR in Bihar , Congress has asked who the 30 lakh people who didn’t make it to the electoral rolls are and how many of them voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Congress said that as CEC had allowed applications for inclusion up to ten days before the last date of nomination, the final electoral roll must be frozen on that date, and elections be held on the basis of that list.
The AICC expert group on elections and voters’ list, EAGLE , said the identity of the 30 lakh people removed was important as there were 7.7 crore registered voters in the parliamentary polls, but after SIR the number had come down to 7.42 crore.
EAGLE, which comprises Ajay Maken, Digvijaya Singh, Abhishek Singhvi, Praveen Chakravarty, Pawan Khera, Gurdeep Sappal and Nitin Raut, said EC had claimed that 21.5 lakh voters were added in Bihar but Form 6 was available for only 16.9 lakh, which raises the question of “where the remaining 4.6 lakh forms are, and if these voters were added without due process”.
