The term Mr. Lavasa is using 'purification' in the context of the ongoing SIR in Bihar's voter list is absolutely objectionable.
Eci has become an arm of BJP and it has ZERO credibility.
Disappointed by Mr. Lavasa: He keeps dodging and skirting around the direct question.
Supreme court should intervene, or public faith in justice will be lost.
