Yadav: Completeness, accuracy and equity are the tests for electoral rolls...on all 3 counts, SIR has failed and has been counter-productive. I want to suggest that we should not begin by looking at 7.9 crores. We should see what's percentage of adults eligible to vote. On this count, India is one of the best countries in the world. 99% compared to some of the best - Germany, Japan...US is only 74% (that many persons make it to voter list)...wherever onus is shifted from state to citizen, you will atleast miss out one quarter...most of these would be marginalized. Bihar is at 97%. Bihar is slightly deflated. With one stroke, Bihar has come down to 88% already. There would be further deletions now.
