INDIA bloc alleges over 5k UP residents included in Bihar electoral rolls

The INDIA bloc alleged that “more than 5,000” residents of Uttar Pradesh have been registered as voters in an adjoining district of Bihar by the Election Commission for the benefit of the ruling NDA in the upcoming assembly polls in the eastern state.

The commission rejected the allegation, claiming that the figure of doubtful voters was “imaginary”.

Congress national general secretary Randeep



Surjewala and RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha made the allegation at a press conference in Phulparas in Madhubani district on Tuesday.

They alleged that the “doubtful” voters have been registered mostly in the Valmiki Nagar assembly segment of West Champaran district, citing the name of a 45-year-old man, who has been included in the electoral rolls despite having been an elector of Khadda constituency in Kushinagar district of UP.
