Did not investigate at the right time: EC hits opposition amid Bihar Sir Row

The Electoral Commission (EC) responded on Saturday to the criticism of the alleged voters list in Bihar, and emphasized that political parties were involved in every phase of the election role, but that it could not raise objections in time. “It seems that some political parties and their agents at the level (blow) did not investigate the election roles at the right time and did not point out errors, if any …,” said the poll, reports Pti. Prior to the scheduled press conference in Delhi over the Bihar Sir, the Electoral Commission said that both physical and digital copies of draft proles are shared with all parties and uploaded to his website for public access. Parties and citizens then get a full month to file claims and objections. Once the final list is published, it is again shared with recognized parties, along with an appeal system with two levels, the poll explained. ‘Vote Chori’ drives the comments of the Electoral Commission coming amid the continued special intensive review of voter lists in the poll-bound Bihar, and Rahul Gandhi’s “Vote Chori” (allegations for voting theft). At a press conference on August 7, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha presented the congress’s research on the vote at the Mahadevapura meeting in Karnataka to claim the theft of 1,00,250 votes. Earlier in the day, the UK announced that it would “explain” the special intensive review exercise that is underway in Bihar on Sunday, August 17, as Rahul Gandhi starts with his ‘voter Adhikar Yatra’. The poll holds a press conference tomorrow at the National Media Center, Raisina Road, New Delhi. The UK on Saturday also said it still welcomes an investigation into the election roles by political parties and any voter. “It will help Eros remove the mistakes and purify the election rolls, which has always been the purpose of genuine,” it says. The poll also underlined that the system for the election of the Parliament and meeting was a multiple decentralized construction as envisaged by law.
