Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien has accused the Election Commission of launching a “sinister” backdoor National Register of Citizens (NRC) under the guise of a special voter roll revision in Bihar. Comparing the required documentation to Nazi-era “ancestor passes”, O’Brien questioned the timing of the exercise just months before elections in Bihar—and warned that it may be extended to West Bengal. Citizens born after 2004, he claimed, would have to produce birth documents for themselves and both parents, or risk being struck off the voter list. Calling the move desperate and politically motivated, he alleged the EC is acting on BJP’s behalf to influence results in states where they’re losing ground. The INDIA bloc, he said, will raise this inside and outside Parliament. Is this a legitimate cleanup of electoral rolls—or a stealth NRC?#electioncommission #biharpolls #tmc #voterlist #tmcvsec #derekobrien #biharelections #nrcdebate #ecrevision #voterrollcontroversy #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
