Special Intensive Revision in Bihar found 65 lakh voters worth deleting — but not a single eligible citizen worth adding.
The recent announcement regarding the “Special Intensive Revision in Bihar” has sparked significant debate across India. As pointed out by political analyst Yogendra Yadav, this revision process has led to the deletion of 65 lakh voters without adding a single eligible citizen. This raises troubling questions about the integrity and effectiveness of the electoral process in Bihar.
In 75 years of independent India, has there ever been a ‘revision’ without a single addition?
This situation is unprecedented. Historically, voter revisions aim to update and refine electoral rolls by adding new eligible voters while removing those who are deceased or have moved away. The current scenario in Bihar is a stark departure from this norm, demonstrating a concerning trend that could disenfranchise many citizens. It leaves one wondering about the criteria used in this revision process and whether it adequately reflects the demographic changes within the state.

Yadav’s statement emphasizes a critical issue: the potential for voter suppression disguised as administrative efficiency. The absence of new additions suggests either a failure in outreach or a deeper systemic problem within the electoral framework. As citizens, we must ask ourselves: how can we ensure that every eligible voter has the opportunity to participate in the democratic process?
Engaging in robust discussions about these electoral practices is essential for safeguarding our democracy. The implications of such deletions extend beyond Bihar, impacting the national political landscape. It’s crucial for us to advocate for transparency and accountability in the electoral revision processes to uphold the fundamental rights of all citizens.
Stay informed and actively participate in discussions to protect our democratic rights.
