RJD's Manoj Jha Slams Bihar's Voter List Revision, Calls Supreme Court a Guiding Light
The Election Commission of India (ECI), once lauded for curbing booth capturing and restoring public faith in democratic processes, now faces a brewing crisis over its voter list revisions, branded by former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi as the "real soft underbelly" of the institution. As Bihar's monsoon-drenched voter verification drive sparks controversy ahead of the Assembly elections, RJD's Manoj Jha, a fiery Rajya Sabha MP, has taken the ECI to the Supreme Court, alleging systematic disenfranchisement of marginalized communities. With the court set to hear five petitions, including those from Manoj Jha, Mahua Moitra, Yogendra Yadav, and the Association for Democratic Reforms, on Thursday.
