The Election Commission of India has published the final voter list for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. This comprehensive update has led to the inclusion of 21.53 lakh new electors across the state, reflecting efforts to ensure inclusive and accurate voter registration. Among these, 1.63 lakh new voters have been added in Patna, highlighting the significant participation of first-time voters in the state’s political process. The addition of millions of voters could reshape electoral dynamics, especially in urban constituencies like Patna, where youth participation is expected to influence outcomes. Analysts suggest that political parties will now reassess campaign strategies, focusing on engaging first-time voters and ensuring outreach to newly added electors. The emphasis on transparent and updated voter rolls reflects the Election Commission’s commitment to free, fair, and participatory elections, enabling every eligible citizen to exercise their democratic rights. #BiharElections2025 #VoterListFinal #ElectionCommission #SpecialIntensiveRevision #NewVoters #Patna #DemocracyInAction #VotingRights #ElectoralRoll #YouthParticipation

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of enabling large-scale voter deletions in Karnataka’s 2023 Assembly elections. He claimed over 6,000 names were removed from voter lists in Aland constituency using fake logins and phone numbers from outside the state, particularly targeting Congress strongholds. Gandhi stated that despite 18 requests from the Karnataka CID, the ECI has not shared critical data like IP addresses, device ports, and OTP trails. In response, the ECI rejected the allegations, citing proper due process and filing an FIR for the Aland incident. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju and the BJP criticized Gandhi, calling the claims baseless and politically motivated, urging him to accept his party’s electoral defeats. #RahulGandhi #ElectionCommission #ECI #KarnatakaElections2023 #VoterDeletion #AlandConstituency #CongressParty #BJP #KirenRijiju #ElectionControversy #PoliticalNews #IndiaPolitics #ElectoralIssues #VoterRights #FIR #ElectionAllegations #News #newsone
