BJP’s Patra accuses Tejashwi Yadav of spreading misinformation on electoral process
NEw new delhi: The Bharatiya Janata company’s (BJP) subject interpreter Sambit Patra on dominicus accused the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, of spreading misinformation about the electoral process.Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, stirred a row by claiming that his name was missing from the draft electoral rolls published on Friday after a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission in the poll-bound state. However, the ECI rebutted the claim and termed it “factually incorrect”, while the Opposition leader insisted there was a “change” in the EPIC number allotted to him.Speaking at a press conference, Patra alleged that Yadav had cited an incorrect voter ID number and questioned the integrity of the electoral process, only for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to later confirm that Yadav remains an enrolled voter with a different and valid EPIC number.Also Read: Bihar SIR: Key takeaways from draft electoral roll after ECI’s revisionYadav demonstrated at a press conference that an online search, using his EPIC number RAB2916120 on the Election Commission’s website, was yielding the result “no records found”. “The booth level officer (BLO) who visited my place did not give me any receipt of the enumeration form that I had filled up. But I had got myself photographed while handing over my enumeration forms to her,” he had said.The Election Commission later clarified that his correct and officially registered EPIC number is RAB0456228—the same as what he had used in his 2020 election affidavit.Also Read: Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav lock horns in Bihar Assembly over SIRThe Commission confirmed that his name is enrolled in the Digha Assembly constituency at polling station no. 2004 (Library Building, Animal Sciences University), serial number 416.Referring to Yadav’s 2020 election affidavit, Patra said it is a deliberate attempt to discredit constitutional institutions. “In a fraudulent and misleading manner, this is an attack on the constitutional institutions. This is a conspiracy, an attempt to lower the stature of India,” he said.Also Read: EC publishes draft electoral rolls for Bihar after SIR amid protest by OppnThe EC has not issued a formal notice to Yadav yet, but has released a copy of the draft electoral rolls showing Yadav’s name, photograph, and details at serial number 416.
