Patna: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a notice to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, asking him to prove his claim that his name was deleted from the Bihar electoral roll.
ECI’s notice came after the BJP slammed the former Bihar Deputy CM, alleging that he had committed a crime by keeping two voter ID cards.
The ECI, which refuted Tejashwi’s claim and asserted that his name was there in the draft voter list, sought the 10-digit unique EPIC (Electoral Photo Identity Card) number mentioned by him during the press conference on Saturday.
In the notice served to Yadav, the poll panel said: “It is to be informed that in the press conference held on 02.08.2025, you said that your name was not mentioned in the draft voter list. After investigation, it was found that your name is mentioned on serial number 416 of polling station number 204 (Library Building of Bihar Animal Science University), whose EPIC number is RAB0456228.”
“As per your quote from your press conference, your EPIC number is RAB2916120. As per preliminary investigation, EPIC number RAB2916120 does not appear to be officially issued. Therefore, you are requested to kindly provide the details of the mentioned EPIC card (along with the original copy of the card) mentioned by you in the press conference, so that it can be thoroughly investigated,” ECI added.
