As the political heat has begun to gain momentum ahead of the forthcoming Bihar assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Saturday asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will form the government in the state and will make the symbols of jungle raj "disappear".
"When the results of the Bihar assembly elections are announced, the NDA government will be formed again. The BJP government will be formed, and these symbols of jungle raj, those who raise slogans of 'Shahabuddin Zindabad', will disappear," Bhatia said while addressing a press conference.
Earlier, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar chaired discussions with all the recognised political parties of Bihar, along with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar Vinod Singh Gunjyal and senior officers of the Commission.
During the interaction, the Election Commission (EC) stated that political parties are the cornerstone of democracy and that all parties should ensure their participation at every stage of a transparent electoral process.The EC urged voters to celebrate the festival of elections with harmony and respect, and to experience the transparency of the elections. It also urged political parties to ensure that they nominate polling agents at every polling booth.
Political parties thanked the EC for taking "historic, transparent, and firm" measures to purify the electoral rolls through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and reiterated their complete commitment and faith in the electoral process.They also thanked the EC for setting a maximum number of voters per polling station at 1,200.
Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today claimed irregularities in the final electoral roll after the Special Intensive Revision of the list in Bihar. Sharing a media report, he alleged that 247 voters were found in a single household, and a person's name appears three times on the same booth.Alleging that the SIR was orchestrated at the behest of the ruling regime, he called the Election Commission the BJP's "B-team".
Ramesh, General Secretary in charge of Communications in Congress, wrote on X, "The Election Commission has orchestrated the entire SIR drama at the behest of the BJP. Even the claims of reforms by the Election Commission in the final SIR are proving to be false. Reports are coming in from all regions of Bihar that confirm the sole purpose of the entire process is to provide political advantage to the BJP and its allied parties."
