‘Alarming, illegal’: Chidambaram slams EC over voter addition in TN, deletion in Bihar

P. Chidambaram criticized the election commission of India for adding approximately 6.5 lakh “migrant workers” to Tamil Nadu’s electoral roll while removing around 65 lakh people from Bihar’s voter list, terming them “permanently migrated.” He questioned the ECI’s methodology and described the move as an abuse of power, advocating for political and legal challenges against it. P.
