NEW DELHI: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) launched a scathing attack at the Central government on Monday, following the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) disclosures that a significant number of individuals from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar were found during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
RJD MP Manoj Jha held the Union Home Minister directly responsible for the alleged presence of foreign nationals in the state, demanding accountability and even calling for resignations.
Manoj Jha, speaking to IANS said, “Nothing can be more unfortunate than this. The ECI is a constitutional body we have long placed our faith in—built on the foundations laid by pioneers like Sukumar Sen (Former Chief Election Commissioner of India). But today, under the pretext of 'intensive revision', anarchy is being promoted. Field reporters and journalists covering this are facing direct and indirect threats. What is happening to our democracy?”
