Bihar News: Tejashwi Sparks Row Comparing EC Sources To Urine Amid Voter List Purge Of 4.9 Crore Namesb

A massive political controversy is unfolding in Bihar after the Election Commission reportedly raised questions over the validity of 4.9 crore voters added post-2003, hinting at a possible purge based on suspicions that many may be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Nepal, and Rohingya regions. The news, citing unnamed EC sources, triggered a strong backlash from opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, who controversially compared such “sources” to urine—a remark he repeated deliberately, sparking outrage across political circles.The BJP and JDU slammed the RJD leader for "linguistic hooliganism," accusing him of disrespecting a constitutional body. Critics argue that such remarks from a constitutional post-holder demean public discourse. Meanwhile, RJD leaders, including spokesperson Anwar Pasha, retaliated by pointing out the BJP's own history of inflammatory language, accusing them of communalizing the issue and hiding behind false narratives of infiltration to distract from governance failures.The Election Commission’s silence and its reliance on anonymous sources have only added to the confusion. If the same voter list elected the current government in 2024, critics question whether this scrutiny implies those elections were flawed. The row has now turned into a full-blown war of words, just as Bihar heads into a high-stakes political season
