What is the CPI(ML) Liberation chief’s view on the Bihar election results?
The outcome is 'abnormal' due to three government 'experiments'Dipankar Bhattacharya, general secretary of CPI(ML) Liberation, termed the Bihar election results as 'abnormal.' He attributed this to three alleged 'experiments': distribution of ₹10,000 to women under Mahila Rojgar Yojana just before polls, manipulation of electoral rolls via the SIR exercise (deleting 65 lakh votes and adding 3.5–4 lakh later), and transfer of land to a corporate entity at a throwaway price. His party, part of the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, saw its tally drop from 12 seats in 2020 to just 2 in 2025. He claimed these tactics skewed the democratic process and distorted voter representation.
