Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has stirred controversy by asserting that his name is absent from the recently published draft electoral rolls for Bihar, spearheaded by the Election Commission.
His claim met opposition from Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, who released a purported screenshot displaying Yadav's details alongside his photograph in the draft rolls. This exchange fuels political tensions as state assembly polls approach.
Yadav fiercely defended his stance at a press conference, illustrating his inability to locate his voter details online and expressing concerns over potential disenfranchisement. In response, Choudhary accused Yadav of making fraudulent claims for political gain.
