Bihar SIR Row Protest: Congress MPs Wear ‘124 Not Out’ T-Shirts over Voter Fraud Allegations

Opposition MPs allege voter list manipulation during Bihar's Special Intensive Revision, highlighting a clerical error listing Minta Devi as 124 years old as evidence of irregularities.

  • On August 12, 2025, several INDIA bloc MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, wore t-shirts featuring Minta Devi during a protest against alleged voter theft linked to Bihar's SIR exercise.
  • Following the draft electoral roll in Bihar, officials found that Minta Devi, a first-time voter from Siwan district, listed her birth year as 1900 due to a clerical error in her Form-6 registration.
  • Protesters wore T-shirts bearing Minta Devi's photo and '124 Not Out', accusing the EC of colluding with the BJP in alleged 'vote chori'.
  • On Monday, proceedings were disrupted when Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and other MPs were detained during a march, causing repeated adjournments in Parliament.
  • The list remains open for claims until September 1, 2025, and Opposition MPs warn ahead of Bihar assembly elections later this year that the SIR dispute could disenfranchise voters.
