RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav lashed out at the Election Commission of India (ECI) for not addressing concerns regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being carried out in Bihar. The former Bihar CM has also claimed that the Narendra Modi-led Centre will impose President's rule in the state to consolidate power.

Attacking the poll panel for not clarifying the doubts of political parties, Yadav told ANI, "Two days after the (SIR) notification itself, we have asked the Election Commission that our mahagathbandan, the alliance, wants to meet with you, a delegation wants to meet with you. Though the sad thing that in the state in which elections will happen, if Opposition wants to meet with Election Commission to raise doubts for clarity but Election Commission not giving a time for meeting itself."

The recent remarks by Tejashwi come on the day the poll body was supposed to meet a multi-party delegation to talk about the SIR exercise; however, that meeting had been postponed.

"...In future, Modi ji will impose President's Rule in Bihar and take full charge into his hands...Election Commission has become a puppet...It is a significant issue that the right to vote is being snatched, and the Election Commission is not meeting with the political parties. Where is justice?...The Election Commission has never taken any action against PM Modi and other prominent leaders over their speeches....," the former deputy CM of Bihar said, as quoted by news agency ANI.

He also claimed that the voting rights being allegedly taken away are just the first step, with the saffron party coming for the people’s pension and rations later on.

"It looks like the Election Commission has become Modi's, BJP's Commission, and BJP, Nitish Kumar is silent on this. They are losing the elections by votes so EC is helping them from the back. When they lose, first they cut votes of poor, then pension, after that ration. Modi ji will eat all that up. Voting is a right in a Constitutional democracy, and that too you are taking that way," he added.

Yadav also dismissed the plan for implementing One Nation, One Election and said that the poll panel has already shown how it is not able to conduct an election in one state properly.

"They talk about One Nation One Election, but you can't even organise an election in one state properly, cheating happens. It has been made perfectly clear that there is a conspiracy…”.
