In a surprising turn of events, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged on Saturday that his name was absent from the draft electoral rolls in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections, raising concerns over voter registration processes.

The accusation was promptly refuted by Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and the Patna district administration, who shared evidence showing Yadav's details present in the rolls. This controversy highlights the tension and political maneuvering typical of election season in India.
