Congress slams poll panel over '247 voters in one household' report

New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday, , citing media reports, asked CEC Gyanesh Kumar to explain "how 247 voters were found in one household in Jamui" and "why one person's name appeared at three places in the same booth in Muzaffarpur" in the final electoral roll in Bihar.

"Will the CEC answer how 247 voters were found in one household and why one person's name appeared in three places at the same booth? Or will he remain silent as before? Worryingly, in some constituencies the number of voter deletions exceeds the margin of victory in previous elections," Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said.
