INDIA bloc holds six-hour-long meeting at Tejashwi's house; seat sharing for Bihar polls discussed



The RJD leader said that once the voters’ list will be published after revision, inclusion of names would not be possible. Moreover, the same list will be applicable for panchayat elections scheduled to be held next year.“We appeal Panchayat representatives to remain alert on the matter,” he told the media.He expressed concern that names of voters from the Diara area might be deleted in large numbers, as BLOs have not yet reached the remote villages. He alleged that Yadav-dominated villages were being targeted by the ECI, and people from this community would be the worst affected.To support his claim that the ECI was acting at the behest of the BJP, Tejashwi said the commission mentioned in a press statement that 35 lakh voters’ names would be deleted from the electoral rolls, three days after the same information was reported in newspapers.“I fail to understand why the figures were the same even as revision exercise was underway,” he added.Congress state president Rajesh Kumar, VIP chief Mukesh Sahani and leaders from three Left parties were also present at the press conference.
