At the ground level, all the voters, all the political parties and all the booth-level officers are working together in a transparent manner, verifying, signing and also giving video testimonials. It is a matter of serious concern that these verified documents, testimonials of the district presidents of political parties and the BLOs nominated by them, are either not reaching their own state-level or national-level leaders, or an attempt is being made to spread confusion by ignoring the ground reality," Gyanesh Kumar said.He further informed that around 1.6 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLAs) were involved in preparing the draft voter list in Bihar. So far, voters have submitted a total of 28,370 claims and objections.“SIR has been started in Bihar. 1.6 lakh Booth Level Agents(BLA) have prepared a draft list…As this draft list was being prepared in every booth, the Booth Level Agents of all political parties verified it with their signatures…Voters have submitted a total of 28,370 claims and objections…," CEC Gyanesh Kumar said.
