Bihar Voter List Revision Sparks Aadhaar Debate: BJP Accuses Congress of Hypocrisy
A political clash has erupted in Bihar over the use of Aadhaar in the state’s voter list revision. The BJP has launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing the party of hypocrisy regarding its stance on Aadhaar’s role in voter identification.
Supreme Court Suggestion Fuels the Debate
The controversy follows a suggestion by the Supreme Court to the Election Commission regarding Bihar’s electoral roll revision. This suggestion has ignited a fierce debate between the BJP and Congress over the use of Aadhaar.
Congress’s Shifting Stance on Aadhaar Draws Fire
The BJP has highlighted what they perceive as a contradiction in the Congress’s position. They point to the Congress’s past opposition to linking Voter ID with Aadhaar, contrasting it with their current demand to include Aadhaar as proof during the revision process. The BJP alleges that this shift in stance is driven by a desire to potentially enfranchise non-citizens, a claim vehemently denied by the Congress.
