Chicago – November 18, 2025
A sensational political storm has erupted in Bihar after claims of large-scale rigging on 97 assembly seats surfaced, accompanied by a leaked video that allegedly exposes manipulation in the state’s recent elections. According to reports, the controversy centers on an alleged mechanism developed under senior officials’ instructions that enabled targeted voter deletions and fake voting.
Investigative data cited by The Reporter Collective suggests that more than 1.3 crore suspicious votes were cast, while over 15,000 voters were deleted per constituency in several areas. The deletion pattern reportedly favored the NDA, allowing narrow victories in multiple seats where the Maha Gathbandhan had previously won.
Examples include Aurangabad, Bakhtiyarpur, and Belaganj, where the margin of BJP’s victory was far smaller than the number of deleted voters. Opposition parties claim this pattern indicates “data-driven rigging” rather than isolated irregularities.
Sources reveal that petitions have been filed before the Supreme Court demanding re-polling on the 97 disputed seats. The matter has sparked intense debate in national politics, raising questions about electoral transparency and institutional accountability.
