Election Commission to Address Concerns Regarding Vote Manipulation and Bihar Electoral Roll Revision

The Election Commission is set to conduct a press conference on Sunday, August 17th, at 3 PM in Delhi’s National Media Center. This press conference follows accusations of voter fraud and irregularities in the electoral rolls, put forth by Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders. The opposition has been vocal in its criticism of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar. The press conference’s agenda is not yet fully disclosed, but it is expected to respond to allegations concerning the Election Commission. Typically, formal press conferences by the Election Commission are reserved for announcing election schedules. However, the upcoming event is a departure from this norm. The press conference is happening at a time when opposition leaders, especially Rahul Gandhi of the Congress party, have accused the EC of voter list manipulation and vote theft. These accusations have raised questions about the fairness of the elections.
