PTC News Desk: Amid the ongoing controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday accused Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha of holding two voter ID cards from different assembly constituencies, urging action against him.
Yadav alleged that Sinha’s name features in both the Lakhisarai and Bankipur constituencies in Patna district, with separate EPIC numbers and differing ages—57 in one record and 60 in another. Responding to the charge, Sinha explained that his name was earlier listed only in Bankipur, but in April 2024, he applied to be added to the Lakhisarai voter roll and requested deletion from Bankipur.
Speaking to reporters earlier today, Yadav said, "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".
"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.
In a massive response to RJD, Sinha he has he has official receipts proving he submitted an application to the Booth Level Officer to remove his name from Bankipur.
"Earlier, names of mine and my family members were listed in Bankipur assembly seat. In April 2024, I had applied to add my name from Lakhisarai. I also filled a form to remove my and my family members' names from Bankipur. I have evidence. For some reason, my name was not removed from Bankipur and it appeared in the draft electoral roll. I called the Booth Level Officer and submitted a written application and took a receipt seeking deletion of my name from Bankpur. I have both documents," the BJP leader said in a press conference.
