On Sunday, Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, accused Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha of holding two voter ID cards and being registered in the draft voter list at two separate locations.

He called for the Election Commission of India to carry out a “transparent” investigation into this issue.

Tejashwi alleged that Deputy CM Sinha’s name is listed in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) 2025 draft rolls for both Patna and Lakhisarai districts.

The RJD leader asserted that Vijay Kumar Sinha is recorded at serial number 757 in booth number 405 of Patna’s Bakipur assembly constituency, with EPIC card number AFS0853341, and also at serial number 274 in booth number 231 in Lakhisarai, with EPIC card number IAF3939337.

He further stated that the Deputy CM’s age is recorded differently on the two cards.

“Whether you call it a disclosure or a fraud, it is a fact that the same individual possesses two different EPIC cards and is registered in two locations,” Tejashwi informed reporters.

While presenting both sets of information to the media, Tejashwi mentioned that he had “verified” the details from the official website of the Election Commission.

He also highlighted that the Commission had previously issued him a notice regarding the possession of two voter ID cards.

“I have already sent my response via speed post on August 8. Now, it remains to be seen when the Patna and Lakhisarai administrations will issue a notice to Vijay Kumar Sinha,” he remarked.

Tejashwi emphasized, “There cannot be a greater fraud than a Deputy Chief Minister’s name appearing in the voter list from two locations even after revision,” and pledged to present his case in court with “complete evidence.”

The RJD leader also pointed out alleged inconsistencies in his own voter details.

“Our parents’ names differ, our siblings’ names are not the same, and my name is associated with someone else in the Election Commission’s voter list. This illustrates how disorganized the voter list is,” he told reporters.

Calling for “transparency”, he cautioned that such “irregularities” are unacceptable in a democratic system and urged the Election Commission to take decisive action.
