Overview
- Tejashwi Yadav shared screenshots from the August 1 draft Special Intensive Revision roll to claim Veena Devi and Dinesh Singh each hold two EPIC cards and votes in different constituencies.
- Both Veena Devi and Dinesh Singh have rejected the allegations, with Singh saying he has applied to remove any duplicate entry and votes only once.
- The Election Commission previously issued show-cause notices in other duplicate-entry cases but has not publicly confirmed or dismissed the new claims against the NDA leaders.
- An EC district officer warned Yadav that citing unissued EPIC numbers is a crime and set an August 16 deadline for him to submit the questioned card for investigation.
- Opposition figures are demanding machine-readable voter lists and have raised doubts about the SIR process’s impartiality ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
