Public sentiment is predominantly negative towards the revision of the voter list in Bihar. Concerns include the potential disenfranchisement of eligible voters, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and suspicions of political manipulation surrounding the Election Commission's decisions. Many commenters advocate for protests and express distrust in the electoral process.

The problem which that department will face is that whatever criteria they will decide for the verification the illegal will be first to full fill it and many "human rights activists" will provide any possible resource to them. 

And many "underprivileged" actual citizens will not be able to fulfill the criteria. 

Not to mention there will be political parties which will crave for illegal's votes and give somewhat similar statements like "they have the first right on the resource of the nation". USA is also facing problems due to this particular con of democracies.

Ah yes, election integrity and national security is when you remove voting rights from big swathes of citizens 🤡🤡


Actual measures to improve national security would be to heavily clamp down on it cells like yours, but something tells me you're loathe to get rid of your source of employment.

Mass Voter Re-Verification exactly 5 months before Bihar 2025 elections.

Demonetisation, exactly 5 months before 2017 UP elections. 

  
Same strategic goal this time using different tactic, need to respect BJP, they have really "mastered" how to fight elections.

comeonwhatdidIdo

Sure kicking the "undesirables" out of the country would be good. But you know in some cities you may be part of the "undesirable". Maybe some states will link it to speaking the local language, maybe some will link it to the right caste/religion. Any law which reverses the burden of proof i.e. citizen need to prove they are citizens (instead of agency proving you are an alien) will be heavily mis-used. Just look at the Assam NRC experience.

SpeakDirtyToMe

You do know that ECI does infact conduct Roll Revision periodically, right? And they have majorly completed this revision last month. This Special Revision didn't make sense cause they were asked to ignore multiple documents that Biharis had and asked for stuff like Birth certificate, previous election ECI number that no one had. 

This isn't the win that you should be celebrating. 

And explain me how is this a win for Election Integrity.

Epicenter-Gamer

My only question is why do it so close to the election with so little time. You're just gonna disenfranchise genuine voters.

The Aadhar roleout was done by BJP and they started al9t of controversial rules such as making it compulsory to link aadhar to phone number (which was overturned)

And now all of a sudden Aadhar can't be used for elections? Doesn't that seem bonkers?

Also, the main concern would be the prevention of disenfranchment of certain electoral base...how do you expect ppl to get added to the polls using new documentation when elections are 4 months away?
What's to stop BJP from ensuring only their voters are able to vote?

Similar cases of ppl being excluded from rolls were done during the UP elections

Aadhaar saturation probably means that excess people were counted most likely due to movement of migrant workers when the data was collected.

Here is the UIDAI having a list from 31st December 2020 on their website with multiple states showing over 100% saturation:

No need to give this "news" some sinister spin.

Professional-Tear996

It is the current BJP that pushed for widespread Aadhar adoption. If there are flaws then it is their fault. Why should a citizen be denied their right vote cause of govt. incompetence.
People who support this move have a very servile mindset. The same BJP that wants to keep questioning the legitimacy of citizens wants to have a unified election because they are afraid of the questioning themselves!

LurkingTamilian

How else will innocent Bangladeshi Mullahs will get to vote for Khangress?

These_Ad1825

Bruh because why the hell else was it issued? 

Modi did this big show about Aadhar as being this one doc to prove your identity but now it doesn’t even matter.

Specialist-Love1504

any one who knows how to breathe can get the aadhar card in any place in india. there is no verification

DifficultMedicine798

Corrupt officials who are enabling these aliens into becoming a citizen here are doing a great disservice to their future generations. We are screwed up as it is, why do you want an influx of another community with an entire different culture?

Aguuueeerrrooo

Man it's so tough job being a blo, my relative is one, people are soo dumb that few of them didn't even knew that they have to submit this or that document, also the blo app is so crappy, it takes 10-20 tries to register only one person

I don't trust EC has found foreigners and is not just naming Indians as foreigners.

interesting fact would be what % of total where these foreigners, that will indicate whether it was a worthwhile effort

Can't really say I'm shocked, it's been an open secret it's just that people don't wanna accept it.

Maxpro2001

Not only names ,those people should be removed too from India

designerchoicepro

And these Nepalis and Bangladeshis act like they’re better 😂 they’re worse off than the worst of India 

Broad_Tiger1458

How did ECI find out that they are foreigners? By looking at their names? 

Or, did they submit foreign countries' passport with the form? 

Or, anyone who could not provide documents are labelled as foreigners (poor illiterate landless people are most likely to not have any of the 11 documents)? 

Or, is it just making news to create fear, to help the *you know who* to win elections?

A masterstroke by modi ji to uplift the poor people of bihar by actually removing them. Both Cost effective and fast.

Jaat Dharm is more important than anything else.

Modiji ne kiya hai toh soch samajhke hi kiya hoga naa....

drdeepakjoseph

This has happened in bihar before, if there are illegitimate voters then they should be removed, shouldn't we rather try to make this process more robust rather than trying to boycott it entirely 

What country allows foreigners to vote in elections?

Icy-Tie9359

Poverty has reduced in india greatly, extreme poverty is below 2.3%. But commies use lies to push their agenda. Bangladeshis should not be allowed to vote, but commies want them not to be excluded from voter list

Critifin

The Election Commission of India faces backlash over its Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll in Bihar, potentially disenfranchising many voters.
