Rahul, Tejashwi launch ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra' from Sasaram, accuse BJP of ‘robbing' elections
The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav began from Sasaram on Sunday with a massive rally at the Airport Ground. The event saw the presence of senior leaders, including RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rabri Devi, CPI-ML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, Bhupesh Baghel and VIP chief Mukesh Sahani. Flagging off the yatra, Lalu Prasad Yadav briefly addressed the crowd with his trademark style, delivering his famous line 'Lagal Lagal Jhulania Me Dhakka Balam Kalkata Chale', and thanked Rahul Gandhi, Kharge, and other INDIA bloc leaders for their support. Addressing the gathering, Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing it of robbing democracy. He said, 'BJP is not in power through democracy but through the robbery of elections. Be it the Lok Sabha or the Assembly, the BJP is winning by stealing votes. The same conspiracy is being carried out in Bihar through Special Intensive Revision (SIR). But we will not let this succeed.' Citing examples, Rahul Gandhi alleged that in Maharashtra, one crore new voters were mysteriously added to the list within four months of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, helping the BJP capture power. In Karnataka, he claimed, about one lakh votes were stolen in a single Assembly segment of a Lok Sabha seat, leading to the BJP's win. 'This is a direct attack on democracy,' he warned. Gandhi assured the crowd that the Mahagathbandhan would resist any such conspiracy, saying, 'This is Bihar. People here know the power of their vote. If there is an attack on democracy, Biharis will be the first to rise against it.' Echoing the charge, Tejashwi Yadav accused the Election Commission of colluding with the BJP. 'This is not just theft of your vote; this is outright robbery. Narendra Modi wants to cheat Biharis. But this is Bihar, where lime is rubbed with khaini. People here are poor, but every child knows how to fight with chilli and spice. We will not allow dishonesty at any cost,' he said to loud cheers. The launch of the yatra has further heated the political atmosphere in Bihar ahead of the Assembly polls. Over the next 16 days, the campaign will cover 25 districts before culminating in a grand rally at Patna's Gandhi Maidan on September 1.

Can't share machine-readable voter list as it may lead to breach of privacy: CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Sticking to its firm stand of protecting the privacy of voters, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Sunday refused to release machine-readable voter list – a demand repeatedly made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said machine machine-readable voter list has been banned since the 2019 verdict of the Supreme Court, as in such a list, the entries and photos can be tinkered with. 'We recently saw some media reports displaying voter lists with photos of electors without consent, which is a breach of privacy,' he said, adding that the poll panel was obligated not to circulate photos of mothers or sisters. He said machine machine-readable voter list is different from the searchable voter list, which is available on the ECI, where a voter can enter his details to check if his name is in the voter list. CEC Gyanesh Kumar said the ECI is standing like a rock with voters, and no eligible voter's name can be deleted to deny him or her the right to vote. He said within 56 hours of a Supreme Court order, the ECI has created a website for each district in Bihar, and it can be used to search a voter's name usingthe EPIC number. Earlier last week, the ECI accepted three key suggestions from the Supreme Court over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Bihar, agreeing to the addition of a list of non-included voters with reasons in the draft roll. For the convenience of citizens, the ECI said that in addition to the list of deceased, voters at two places and permanently shifted given by BLOs to all political parties since July 20, a list of non-included voters with reasons shall also be put in the draft roll. The list of non-included voters could be searched with the EPIC number, booth-wise, on the website of DEOs and the CEO, it said. The poll panel said those aggrieved can file their claim along with a copy of Aadhaar, a key second suggestion of the apex court. The ECI accepted the apex court's suggestion that those aggrieved can file claims along with a copy of Aadhaar. A source in the ECI said an aggrieved person can be defined as a person whose name is not present in the draft list (65 lakhs), and he or she can only file a claim, which has to be in Form 6 under the rules. The Form 6 already contains a column for Aadhaar. Earlier, during a hearing, the apex court directed the ECI to publish online the list of over 65 lakh voters proposed for deletion during SIR. However, citing ground reports and official documentation, ECI officials assert that the process has been far more transparent and collaborative than some Opposition voices suggest. The apex court's directions include uploading the full list of deletions, stating reasons for each deletion, allowing claims with Aadhaar for identification (not citizenship), and displaying these lists at Panchayat and BDO offices.

EC dismisses ‘vote theft' charge, says poll panel stands like a rock with voters
The Election Commission on Sunday dismissed charges of 'vote chori', levelled by the Congress party, saying that the poll panel stands firm with the voters like a rock and will never compromise with the electoral process and protocols, even in the face of adversity. Addressing a press conference, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar also rejected allegations of any bias in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive in Bihar and said that its doors are open for all political parties. He said that the EC doesn't discriminate among political parties and no matter who belongs to which party, it will not step back from its constitutional obligation. 'All the political parties, booth-level officers are working on the ground in a transparent manner. They are verifying documents and also giving video testimonials. It is a matter of serious concern that these verified documents, testimonials of district presidents of political parties and BLOs nominated by them, are either not reaching their own state-level or national-level leaders or an attempt is being made to mislead them by ignoring the ground reality,' he said. The CEC also objected to the public display of photos of many voters, apparently referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's special press conference, where he cried foul about alleged malpractices, and stated that this amounted to a breach of privacy as stipulated in the Supreme Court's earlier ruling. CEC Gyanesh Kumar further said that attempts were being made to misguide the voters and put the poll panel in a bad light by making fake and mischievous allegations. He said that the vote theft charge is completely false and baseless, and claimed that attempts were being made to spread misinformation about the SIR drive in Bihar. He said that the Election Commission won't get deterred by such tactics and asserted that it stands like a rock with the voters. 'When politics is being done by keeping a gun on the shoulders of the Election Commission, we want to make it clear that we won't get intimated by such attempts and the EC fearlessly stands like a rock with all the voters pertaining to all sections and all religions including the poor, rich, elderly, women, youth without any discrimination," he stated.
