šŸšØšŸ” Bihar Voter List Bombshell! Foreign Nationals Discovered – Will They Be Removed?

TL;DR:Ā In Bihar, during a big voter list checking drive, officers found loads of people from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar with possibly fake documents. The Election Commission says these names will be removed before September 30, 2025, after more checks. This sparked a huge political fight, with some parties saying it’s all drama to get votes and others saying it’s needed to save democracy.

šŸ  What Happened in Bihar?

šŸ’„ The Election Commission (EC)Ā started a door‑to‑door voter checking mission on June 25, 2025, called Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

šŸ•µļø During this, many Nepali, Bangladeshi, and Myanmar citizensĀ were found on the voter list using things like Aadhaar cards, ration cards, and domicile proofs, which may be fake.

šŸ‘„ 77,000Ā booth officers are busy checking documents of nearly 7.8 croreĀ voters across Bihar.

šŸ“ What Did the EC Say?

šŸ“… The EC said these suspicious names will be deleted before September 30, 2025, but only after one more round of checking between August 1–30, 2025.

šŸ—‚ļø Officials also said the final voter listĀ will be ready by the end of September, before the Bihar Assembly polls.

āš”ļø Political Reactions

šŸ˜‚ Tejashwi Yadav from RJDĀ called all this ā€œbakwas,ā€ saying it’s just a trick to show EC is working. He even joked that EC’s ā€œsootraā€ (source) means ā€œmootraā€ (urine).

šŸ”„ BJP leadersĀ got super angry, calling Tejashwi ā€œuneducatedā€ and demanding he say sorry.

šŸ—£ļø AIMIM leader OwaisiĀ also asked how EC can decide someone’s citizenship just by knocking on doors.

šŸ§‘ā€āš–ļø Legal & Bigger Issues

āš–ļø Some groups have gone to the Supreme Court, saying this drive will remove poor and genuine voters by mistake.

šŸ“ The court allowed the survey but warned EC not to hurt real voters’ rights.

šŸŒ This drive is like a test-run, because similar checks will happen soon in Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry.

šŸŽÆ Why Should You Care?

āœ… Voter Trust:Ā If foreign names are there, elections won’t be fair. So cleaning the list is good.

āš ļø People’s Fear:Ā Many poor workers don’t have all papers. What if their names go by mistake?

šŸ›‘ Political Fights:Ā Parties will use this issue to blame each other, instead of fixing real problems like jobs and education.

šŸ•µļø MediaFx Angle (People’s Perspective)

From people’s point of view, cleaning the voter list is necessary. But the big officers sitting in AC rooms should not punish poor and working-class peopleĀ who don’t have all the documents. This must not become a way to scare voters or play vote-bank games. Everyone should get help to prove their citizenship properly. ✊
