Pappu Yadav Questions Election Commission, Considers Bihar Election Boycott Over SIR
Former MP Pappu Yadav has raised serious concerns about the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) handling of the State Investigation Report (SIR), hinting at a potential boycott of the upcoming Bihar elections by opposition parties. He believes the ECI’s process is flawed and suspects manipulation.
ECI’s Actions Under Scrutiny
Pappu Yadav expressed his distrust in the Election Commission’s procedures, alleging that names are being removed from voter lists without sufficient evidence. He finds this practice questionable and detrimental to the democratic process.
Opposition Parties May Boycott Elections
If the ECI continues its current course regarding the SIR, Yadav suggests that opposition parties may have to reconsider participating in the Bihar elections. He questions the purpose of contesting if the process appears designed to favor a single party, the BJP.
Tejashwi Yadav’s Leadership Questioned
Yadav also criticized Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership, claiming he hasn’t effectively addressed these crucial election-related issues as the leader of the opposition.
Demand for CBI Probe in Gopal Khemka Murder Case
Regarding the Gopal Khemka murder case, Pappu Yadav questioned the police encounter and demanded a CBI investigation. He also challenged Chirag Paswan to leave the NDA alliance.
