Digital Desk, New Delhi. The political temperature is very high regarding the special revision and verification of the voter list before the Bihar Assembly Elections . Many opposition parties including Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress have expressed displeasure over this decision of the Election Commission.

Tejashwi Yadav said that the Election Commission's repeatedly changing guidelines have created confusion among the people of the state. Amid the controversy, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi reached the Election Commission. He reached the Election Commission's office in Delhi. He said that the Election Commission has decided to conduct a special revision of the voter list in a hurry.

He said that 15-20 percent people are excluded from the voter list. There is a fear that those people will also lose their citizenship. He said that we are not against the revision, but time should be given. Owaisi said that our question is how can the Election Commission complete such a process in such a short time?

What did Owaisi say on the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators?

Owaisi also targeted BJP and RSS on this issue. He said that BJP is spreading the lie that infiltrators from Bangladesh have come to the state. How did those people who were allowed to come to India after the 1971 war become infiltrators today?

What did Owaisi say on Rijiju's comment?

Asaduddin Owaisi has reacted strongly to the remarks of Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. Rijiju had said that India is the only country where minorities get more benefits and protection than the majority community. Owaisi responded to this by saying that India's minorities are no longer even second-class citizens, but they are "hostages".

"India's minorities are no longer second-class citizens. We are hostages," Owaisi wrote in a post on Instagram. He reminded Rijiju that he is a minister, not a king, and occupies a constitutional post, not a throne. Minority rights are fundamental rights, not charity.
