Yadav Slams BJP Over Duplicate Voter ID Allegation; Election Row Heats Up
Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has vehemently refuted allegations of possessing two voter ID cards, squarely blaming election authorities for the error. The development comes ahead of crucial Bihar assembly elections.
Yadav, addressing the issue on Thursday, August 7, 2025, accused the BJP-led state government of attempting to disenfranchise voters through such tactics. He termed the notice a blatant attempt at political intimidation.
He intends to raise this issue at the upcoming INDIA bloc meeting, highlighting it as a larger pattern of electoral malpractice. The meeting is crucial for strategizing the opposition’s campaign.
Dismissing threats from Anant Singh, a rival politician, Yadav asserted his confidence in the people’s support. He remains focused on campaigning and addressing concerns of the electorate.
The controversy adds another layer of complexity to the already charged political atmosphere in Bihar. The upcoming elections are expected to be fiercely contested, with this incident likely to further intensify the battle between the ruling BJP and the opposition.
