The Supreme Court has sought the Election Commission’s response to a petition by Trinamool Congress MP Dola Sen alleging changes to Form 6 during Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls without the court’s approval. The Election Commission has denied amending the statutory form and defended the legality of the revision process.

The Janata Dal (United) expelled Mokama MLA Anant Singh and his wife, former MLA Neelam Devi, for six years over alleged anti-party activities during the Bihar MLC elections. The action followed Singh’s support for Jan Suraaj candidate Anuj Singh against JD(U) nominee Neeraj Kumar in the Patna Graduates’ constituency.
