Kapil Sibal alleged a “partnership” between the Election Commission and the BJP, saying that votes have increased in Maharashtra while they will decrease in Bihar.
Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Saturday speaking on the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar said that it is “another way to bring back NRC” and alleged that the government wants to impose “authoritarian” rule in the country.
Sibal alleged a “partnership” between the Election Commission of India and the BJP, saying that votes have increased in Maharashtra while they will decrease in Bihar.
Kapil Sibal told ANI, “It is being said that this is a pilot project; this is another way to bring back NRC…They want to impose majoritarian rule in India…They don’t want anyone else to come to power in India. In Maharashtra they increased the number of votes and here they are reducing it. My allegation is that there is a partnership between the Election Commission and them (BJP).”
The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Election Commission to continue with the work of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter list in poll-bound state Bihar.
