Commission cleaning on rumors spread on social media
It was written in an advertisement that ‘now only the form is to be filled, there is no need to submit the documents’, which caused confusion on social media. On this, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Kumar alleged that it is a conspiracy to take away the rights of Dalits and the underprivileged. The Election Commission has made it clear that this statement is misleading and wrong and appealed to the people not to believe anything without official information.
