The notice from the Election Commission came in the huge political row over fake voters, that is being spearheaded by Congress's Rahul Gandhi.
Patna:A notice has been issued to Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha for allegedly possessing two voter ID cards and being registered as a voter in two places. The notice from the Election Commission came in the huge political row over fake voters, that is being spearheaded by Congress's Rahul Gandhi.
Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Kumar, in a post on X on Saturday, shared screenshots of the draft electoral rolls bearing Mr Sinha's name as a voter in Lakhisarai, his assembly seat, as well as Bankipur in Patna.
The Electoral Registration Officer of Bankipur Assembly constituency has now sent the notice, seeking an explanation for his name being listed in the voter rolls of two different assembly constituencies. He has been asked to respond by 5 pm on August 14.
Mr Sinha has insisted that he voted from only one place. "I vote from only one place. Last time, too, I voted from only one place. The prince of jungle-raj (Tejashwi Yadav) is simply trying to mislead people by giving wrong facts," he said, demanding that the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader apologise for making false allegations against him.
