Aug 29, 2025: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi fired a fresh salvo at the Election Commission, claiming that the draft electoral rolls in Bihar show “an entire village” in Gaya district to be “residing in the same house”.

On Thursday, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha commented on a social media post made by his party with the caption "see the magic of EC." The Opposition Leader is participating in a "Voter Adhikar Yatra" throughout the state.

A single house has become home to the entire village. The Congress’s post on X said that in Nidani village of Gaya district, under Barachatti Assembly segment, “all 947 voters” of a booth have been shown to be “residents of house number six”.
"This only concerns one village. The party stated, "We can only imagine the magnitude of irregularities at the state and national levels." However, a clarification regarding the District Magistrate of Gaya's X handle was issued by the Bihar Chief Electoral Officer's office. "Notional house number is given in villages or slum clusters where the houses do not have any actual serial numbers," the DM asserted. This is done for making easy the process of enlisting voters”.

Video clips, purportedly of residents of the village, have also been shared on the DM’s X handle in which the people can be heard saying they were satisfied with the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, but upset over “attempts to defame the area”.
