    NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in the Bihar assembly and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday hinted that the opposition Mahagathbandhan might consider boycotting the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, accusing the ruling NDA of manipulating the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.“That too can be discussed. We will see what the people want and what everyone’s opinion is,” Yadav told IANS when asked if a poll boycott was on the table.The remark came amid uproar in the Bihar Assembly, where RJD and other opposition MLAs demanded a full debate on the SIR process. “Bihar is the cradle of democracy, and attempts are being made to strangle it,” Yadav said, accusing chief minister Nitish Kumar of suppressing discussion on the issue.Echoing Rahul Gandhi’s recent claims of electoral manipulation, Yadav alleged that in some states, dozens of voters were listed under the same BJP worker’s address. He warned of similar tactics being deployed in Bihar through the SIR process.Despite the ongoing political tensions, Yadav confirmed that the INDIA bloc has finalised its seat-sharing formula and leadership structure for the Bihar elections. “An announcement will be made soon,” he said.
