Tejashwi Yadav Says Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Has 2 Voter IDs. He Replies | Read

Adding a twist to the row over Bihar's voter list revision, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has claimed that Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha holds two EPIC cards. The Election Commission issues every eligible voter an EPIC -- Electors Photo Identity Card -- and a voter must have only one EPIC number.

Mr Sinha has hit back, saying that he has already requested the removal of his name from one constituency and accusing Mr Yadav of levelling false allegations.

In a press meet this morning, Mr Yadav claimed that Deputy Chief Minister Sinha has two EPIC numbers. "These numbers are in two separate Assembly segments, and his age is also different in these cards. One EPIC number is in the Bankipur segment and his age is 60. Another EPIC number is in Lakhisarai and his age is 57 in this one. So, either he has signed documents for the issue of both these EPIC numbers or the whole Special Intensive Revision process is a fraud," Mr Yadav said.
