Congress, BJP trade charges over voter rolls
Shimla, Oct. 29 -- The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party in Himachal Pradesh traded charges over democracy, the Constitution, and the impartiality of constitutional institutions in the country.

He expressed concerns regarding the large-scale removal of names from electoral rolls and said no eligible citizen should be wrongfully excluded from the voter lists.

Announcing a statewide public awareness campaign, Bindal said the BJP would organise four marches under the banner 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' across Himachal Pradesh. The first foot march will take place in Dharamshala on October 30, followed by one in Shimla on November 1, and marches in Mandi and Hamirpur on November 4....
