'Another way to get back NRC': Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on revision of electoral rolls in Bihar

Kapil Sibal criticized Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, calling it a veiled attempt to reinstate the NRC and impose authoritarian rule. He alleged a BJP-Election Commission partnership, claiming manipulated voter counts. The Supreme Court allowed the SIR to proceed but urged the ECI to consider Aadhaar and other documents for voter identification, acknowledging the upcoming Bihar elections in November.
