00:00Let's take you through some more news updates coming in, this time on SIR.
00:05The Election Commission has now released the revised voter list of poll-bound Bihar
00:10after conducting the special intensive revision.
00:13The number of voters in the final voter list of Patna's district has actually not decreased,
00:20but increased by 1.63 lakhs compared to the draft voter list.
00:27The draft voter list released on August 1st, 2025, that's today,
00:32showed a total of 4.65 lakhs voters in Patna district.
00:37And now the total number of voters there is 4.81. It has gone up.
00:44Now, special intensive revision, or SIR, as we keep calling it.
00:49The process has obviously faced criticism from opposition parties.
00:52EC had dismissed the opposition claims of biased approach towards any political party.
00:57But how are we to take in account these numbers?
01:01How are we to assign and sort of ascertain what this really means?
01:06Because the number hasn't gone down, it was supposed to be a deletion process,
01:09a revision process, it has actually gone up.
01:12Of course, we're looking only at the Patna district and not all of Bihar as of now.
