Yadav’s Missing Voter ID: EC Seeks Probe Amidst Bihar Roll Controversy

Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on August 3, 2025, presented a voter ID card he alleges was missing from the Bihar electoral rolls. He claims discrepancies exist with his EPIC number.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has responded by requesting the card for a thorough investigation. The ECI expressed doubts about the authenticity of the card’s issuance.

Authorities have refuted Yadav’s claims of a changed EPIC number. They maintain the current number aligns with his 2020 election affidavit.

This development raises serious questions about the integrity of the Bihar electoral rolls and the verification processes in place. The outcome of the ECI’s investigation will have significant implications for electoral transparency and public trust in the upcoming elections.
