Patna: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday accused Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha of holding two voter identity cards in different assembly constituencies — Bankipur and Lakhisarai — with separate EPIC numbers, age entries and parentage details.

Yadav claimed the discrepancy raised doubts over whether Sinha voted in both seats and questioned if the Election Commission would act, as it has against opposition leaders during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He said the two EPIC cards showed conflicting personal details, including a difference in age — 57 in one record and 60 in another — and mismatched father’s names.
“Vijay Kumar Sinha is a voter from two different assembly constituencies in two different districts. His name is there in Lakhisarai assembly constituency in the same district and also in Bankipur assembly constituency in Patna district,” Yadav claimed while speaking to reporters.
“He has two different Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC) cards. Surprisingly, it has happened after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission in Bihar. Who should be held responsible, either Sinha himself or the Election Commission? What action is being taken against Sinha? When will he (Sinha) resign from the post after the revelations?” the Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly asked.
Sinha denied any wrongdoing, stating he had applied for deletion of his name from one constituency but the process had not been completed. Calling the charge “politically motivated”, he maintained that all his documents were in order and available for scrutiny.
The Congress joined the attack, describing the alleged duplication as “the biggest fraud” and demanding registration of an FIR. Party leaders also questioned the Election Commission’s neutrality in handling the issue.
The row comes amid an increasingly heated debate over the SIR exercise in Bihar, with the opposition alleging attempts to manipulate the voter list ahead of the 2025 Assembly polls. The Election Commission, however, insists the revision process is transparent, lawful and aimed at cleaning up the rolls.
