Breaking News: Political Tensions Escalate in Bihar as Opposition Protests Voter List Revision | ABP NEWS
In poll-bound Bihar, political heat is rising sharply over the ongoing voter list revision. For the second consecutive day, opposition parties held a strong protest outside the Bihar Assembly, alleging irregularities in the revision process. Former Chief Minister Rabri Devi led the demonstration, with opposition MLAs dressed in black as a mark of protest. Inside the Assembly, the session turned stormy as BJP and JD(U) MLAs arrived wearing helmets, signaling their own form of protest and readiness for confrontation. The visuals from the Bihar Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad highlighted deep divisions between the ruling alliance and the opposition Mahagathbandhan. In the Legislative Council, Mahagathbandhan MLCs chanted slogans against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, while Nitish questioned the opposition’s decision to wear black clothes, calling it mere theatrics and a distraction from real issues. He emphasized the government's achievements and accused the opposition of being unwilling to listen or engage in meaningful debate. With elections nearing, the issue of voter list transparency has become a flashpoint in Bihar politics, and both sides are sharpening their narratives to sway public opinion.
