The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has been vocal against the special intensive revision (SIT) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Opposition leaders have been asking for a debate in Parliament over the revision.
The revision of the electoral rolls is being conducted by the Election Commission of India. The first draft of the rolls has been published on Aug 1, and the Commission has opened the window to submit claims and objections for one month.
The Bihar Assembly elections are expected to be held in October or November this year. However, the Election Commission of India is yet to announce the dates.
