New Delhi, July 4 (NationPress) As the Bihar assembly elections draw near, the political atmosphere in the state is heating up. The opposition has intensified its critique of the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list, prompting a response from the BJP, which interpreted this resistance as a sign of their escalating anxiety as the polls approach.
Senior BJP figure Shahnawaz Hussain accused the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and its coalition partners of “pre-emptively crafting excuses” for their expected defeat in the upcoming elections.
In an interview with IANS in New Delhi, Hussain stated, “The RJD has acknowledged its defeat even before the elections are officially declared. What’s the issue with the Election Commission verifying voter identities? Those who are legitimate have nothing to worry about.”
Continuing his critique of the opposition, Hussain noted, “The EC operates without bias towards religion or caste. It is dedicated to protecting the interests of Indian voters. Only individuals from Bangladesh should be concerned, not the general populace. Yet, the RJD, Congress, and AIMIM are collectively targeting the Election Commission, which is quite regrettable.”
The BJP leader expressed confidence in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s chances in the elections, claiming that the ruling coalition will claim victory.
“This blame-shifting is merely a smokescreen. The NDA will prevail in Bihar — hence the opposition is already questioning the process,” he asserted.
In response to a recent communication from AIMIM to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav regarding a potential alliance, Hussain dismissed it as a tactical maneuver.
“AIMIM is seeking seats now just to later assert they desired an alliance. However, the RJD won’t allocate them any seats. They are all vying for the same voter base,” he commented.
Hussain further described the unity among the opposition as a “farce” and predicted their eventual failure.
“Whether AIMIM aligns with the RJD or not, the opposition is destined to lose. Under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, we will compete cohesively and secure over 200 seats,” he proclaimed.
As the EC continues to revise the voter list throughout Bihar, the political discourse is anticipated to escalate as the elections approach.
Point of View
The ongoing tensions between the BJP and the opposition highlight a significant moment in Indian politics. While accusations and defenses fly, it is essential to focus on the democratic process and ensure fair elections. The voter list revision is a critical aspect that deserves attention, as it shapes the electoral landscape.
