If that is true, the current and previous Election Commissioners should be prosecuted, and this Lok Sabha should be dissolved immediately,” she said.Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha attacked the CEC, saying, “Yesterday we were looking for our CEC, we found a new BJP spokesperson”.Arvind Sawant of Shiv Sena (UBT) also accused the CEC of “behaving like a BJP spokesperson”.Addressing a press conference in Delhi on Sunday, CEC Gynaesh Kumar said the electoral roll revision going on in Bihar is aimed at removing all shortcomings in voter lists and that it is a matter of grave concern that some parties are spreading misinformation about it, firing from the EC’s shoulder.The CEC rejected as “baseless” the allegations of double voting and “vote theft” and asserted that all stakeholders are working to make SIR a success in a transparent manner.
