“Targeted exercise aimed to benefit ruling party”: Manickam Tagore moves Adjournment motion in LS over SIR in Bihar
Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Wednesday gave an Adjournment Motion Notice in the Lok Sabha to discuss matters related to the Election Commission, especially the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar.
In his letter, Mr. Tagore mentioned that a six-month investigation by the Congress Party revealed fake and duplicate voters in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha Constituency during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
“As recently revealed by the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, a six-month investigation conducted by the Indian National Congress has uncovered over one lakh fake and duplicate voter entries in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency during the 2024 general elections.
Disturbingly, similar patterns of electoral fraud appear to be unfolding in Bihar under the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls,” he said.
He claimed that in Bihar, credible reports have emerged indicating that a large number of living voters have been falsely marked as deceased and consequently deleted from the rolls.
“Such discrepancies raise serious doubts about the intent, transparency, and impartiality of the SIR process, which increasingly appears to be a targeted exercise aimed at manipulating voter demographics to benefit the ruling party,” Manickam Tagore said.
