Bihar “Infiltrator” Hysteria: Samrat Choudhary’s claims of disenfranchising 22-lakh people corresponds to ECI’s “deceased voters” figure

The irony, however, is this: the figure of 22-lakh—drawn from the recently conducted, controversial SIR exercise in the state—corresponds only to deceased voters
