Maha Gathbandhan in Bihar has stepped up its preparations for the Bihar assembly elections. On the lines of the State Level Coordination Committee, a coordination committee of Maha Gathbandhan will be formed from the district to the block and booth level. Not a single voter is left out in a special intensive review conducting Election Commission of India (ECI) of the ongoing voter list in Bihar, the leaders of the Maha Gathbandhan will ensure this. Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Chairman and Leader of Opposition of Maha Gathbandhan Coordination Committee, has said this to all the district level presidents of the alliance parties during the online meeting.

“Single voter should not be less”

This meeting lasted for about two hours with Tejashwi Yadav and district presidents of coalition parties of Maha Gathbandhan. The Leader of Opposition asked the district heads of all the six parties of the coalition to form a coordination committee at the block and booth level in the same way as the coordination committee is formed at the state level, so that there is better harmony between the leaders and workers of all the parties in the election. Referring to the voter list revision, Tejashwi said that the margin of win-loss in 35 seats in the 2020 elections was less than 3000. Therefore, do not cut the name of a single voter, make sure.

District presidents of Coalition parties were given responsibility

VIP supremo Mukesh Sahni said in the meeting that the conspiracy of the people sitting in the centre and the state is to cut the name of the lower caste or “pichhrebarg” section, so essentially submit the form to the voters of Dalit, backward, extremely backward, minority communities. In the meeting, it was also clearly stated to the district presidents that if they fall behind in this work, then the fight of alliance will be weak in the upcoming assembly elections, so the District President of all the alliance parties should complete this work on priority basis. RJD state president Mangni Lal Mandal, MP Sanjay Yadav, former minister Alok Mehta also expressed their views.

Earlier on July 9, the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan organised a massive statewide bandh and a protest march focussed on the contentious Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav jointly led the protest, accusing the BJP government of manipulating the SIR process to selectively remove names of Opposition supporters from the voter rolls, a charge strongly denied by the Election Commission.

According to AICC secretary Shahnawaz Alam, the party has appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs) for all Assembly constituencies and is integrating its grassroots outreach programmes with the SIR awareness campaign.

Congress workers have been tasked with visiting 400 households daily under the ‘Mai Bahin Maan Yojana’ while simultaneously educating people about the SIR and helping them fill out the forms.

The Opposition is also targeting specific voter segments, OBCs, Dalits, and tribals, accusing the Centre of using the SIR exercise to disenfranchise marginalised communities.
