Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) leader Dilip Ghosh backed the Election Commission for conducting Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the poll-bound Bihar.Ghosh said that the Election Commission revealed the fake voters in Bihar and emphasised the need to deport the illegal immigrants living in the country."The SIR told us how parties used fake voters. What the Election Commission has done is not limited to Bihar, but for the entire nation. Crores of Bangladeshis are hidden and taking the benefits... They are into anti-national activities. They have to be removed," Ghosh said.However, the Opposition holds a completely different viewpoint on the SIR. Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh termed it a "huge election scam", accusing the ruling party of tampering with the election process.He also made claims about dogs receiving residential certificates and US President Donald Trump's election card being made in Bihar, suggesting a deep-seated issue with the electoral system."The ruling side will tamper with the election process, and the opposition won't say a thing and there will be no discussion in Parliament?...Dogs are getting residential certificates, Donald Trump's election card has been made in Bihar. SIR is a huge election scam," Sanjay Singh told ANI.This comes after Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of "vote chori" (vote theft) in Mahadevapura Assembly in Karnataka for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.Addressing a press conference, Rahul Gandhi said that Congress won other seats while the BJP swept Mahadevapura by committing a "vote chori" of 1,00,250 votes."Elections are choreographed... Our internal polling told us we would win 16 seats in Karnataka; we won nine. We then focused on seven unexpected losses. We chose one Lok Sabha, and our team decided we could only focus on one Vidhan Sabha (seat). So we focused on Mahadevapur. Here is the broad math. All data is 2024 data from the Election Commission. Total votes polled in the Lok Sabha were 6.26 lakhs. The BJP won with 6,58,915, securing a margin of 32,707. But then we look at Mahadevapura, where Congress polls 1,15,586 and BJP polls 2,29,632. Congress wins all Vidhan Sabhas but this one. This seat wins them the election," Rahul Gandhi said.

We will expose BJP's conspiracy for power: MLA Naini Rajender
Hanumakonda: Warangal West MLA Naini Rajender Reddy stated that it is the responsibility of Congress party cadres to expose the BJP's ploy for power, which is destroying the crucial voting system enshrined in the Indian Constitution. He alleged that the Election Commission of India is operating under the influence of the BJP, creating bogus votes and undermining democracy. Senior All India Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has urged the public to remain vigilant from the grassroots to the national level. In this context, following the instructions of TPCC President BMahesh Kumar Goud, a special PowerPoint presentation was organised on Sunday at the Congress party office under the supervision of the Hanumakonda and Warangal district committees.

He urged leaders and workers under the leadership of village, mandal, and district committees to explain to the public the fraud being committed by the BJP government at the Centre and to create awareness.

Bihar Polls: After Tejashwi, Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha Gets Notice Over Two Voter Cards
New Delhi: The Election Commission (EC) has issued a notice to Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha for allegedly being registered as a voter in two different constituencies and holding two separate voter ID cards. This action followed claims made by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday. He accused Sinha of possessing two Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPICs), a claim that the BJP leader has denied. According to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) of Bankipur assembly constituency, Sinha has been asked to explain how he came to be registered in both Bankipur and Lakhisarai constituencies. He has been given until 14 August to respond. Tejashwi Yadav alleged that Sinha's EPIC number in the Lakhisarai constituency is IAF3939337, while in the Bankipur constituency, it is AFS0853341. 'Sinha has two different Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPICs). Surprisingly, it has happened after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission in Bihar. Who should be held responsible, either Sinha himself or the Election Commission? What action is being taken against Sinha? When will he (Sinha) resign from the post after the revelations?' Tejashwi questioned. He also pointed out discrepancies in Sinha's age in the two lists. 'While Sinha's age is 57 years on one list and 60 years on another. Is this not fraud and a scam? He must have filled two different forms in two assembly constituencies. He deliberately got two names registered at two different places. If he did not personally sign both forms, did the Election Commission create two IDs for him, based on forged signatures? Will he receive two different notices, or are these rules only for the opposition leaders?' he added. Tejashwi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, has also been accused by the EC of holding two EPICs. Responding to the situation, he said, 'I have replied to the EC. Why should I need to give an explanation for this?' He also blamed the EC for the issue, saying it was due to an error made by its officials. Deputy CM Vijay Sinha clarified that he is currently registered as a voter in Lakhisarai and had applied to be removed from the Bankipur list in April 2024. 'Earlier, names of mine and my family members were listed in the Bankipur assembly seat. In April 2024, I applied to add my name from Lakhisarai. I also filled out a form to remove my and my family members' names from Bankipur. I have evidence,' Sinha explained. He added that his name was not removed from the Bankipur roll due to unknown reasons. 'For some reason, my name was not removed from Bankipur, and it appeared in the draft electoral roll. I called the booth-level officer and submitted a written application. I have a receipt seeking the deletion of my name from Bankipur,' he said. Sinha also emphasised that he has voted from only one constituency. 'I vote from only one place. Last time, too, I voted from only one place. The prince of jungle-raj (Tejashwi) is simply trying to mislead people by giving wrong facts. The entire Bihar knows that he (Tejashwi) plays the game of tarnishing the image of others. He should apologise for making false allegations against me,' he added.
