Amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) row, Former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has responded to the Election Commission’s claim that no political party had made any complaints and alleged that “our BLAs and officials complain to the Election Commission every day, but they neither accept the complaints nor provide any acknowledgement.”
He further alleged serious irregularities in the voter list, and claimed that Veena Devi, an NDA Member of Parliament from Vaishali, of holding two separate EPIC (Electors Photo Identity Cards)—ID numbers UTO1134543 and GSB1037894—registered in two different Lok Sabha constituencies across two separate districts. He further claimed that the MP has votes in two different Assembly constituencies and that her EPIC cards show two different ages.
Yadav further alleged that Veena Devi submitted two separate enumeration forms, bearing two different signatures during SIR process, both allegedly verified and signed off by the Election Commission.
“How did she end up with two different votes, two EPIC cards, two Lok Sabha constituencies, two Assembly constituencies, and two different ages in the new draft list published by the Election Commission?” Yadav questioned in his post.
Labelling it a clear case of fraud, manipulation, and collusion, Yadav accused the Election Commission of favouring the BJP-NDA. He sarcastically referred to the Commission as the “Troll Commission” and demanded accountability, asking whether the EC would now send “two different notices from two different places” to the MP.
In a second post on Thursday, he alleged that Venna’s husband and JDU legislator Dinesh Singh, too has two different EPIC IDs.
“He has two different votes in two different Lok Sabha constituencies in two different districts. He has two different votes in two different assembly constituencies,” he said on X.

Tejashwi Responds To Election Commission
Tejashwi Yadav also responded to EC’s claim that no official complaint has been filed in the matter and said,”Our BLAs and officials complain to the Election Commission every day, but they neither accept the complaints nor provide any acknowledgement. Yet, they issue press releases daily claiming that political parties have not made any complaints.”
“In lying, the Election Commission has even surpassed Prime Minister Modi. This is truly a wonder of the Election Commission. We have never seen anything like this anywhere,” he further added.
Earlier, the EC on Friday told RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav that it was a crime to forge and use a bogus government document and set a deadline for him to submit his “apparently fake” Electoral Photo Identity Card (EPIC) by August 16.
The Official had earlier written to the former Deputy CM, urging him to ‘hand over for investigation’ the voter card which he claimed to possess despite it having been ‘not issued officially’.
In the latest letter, the ERO said that a perusal of the voters list for the past several years has led to the conclusion that the EC had never issued the voter card with the EPIC number quoted by Yadav.
Veena Devi Reacts To Tajaswi Yadav’s Allegations
Reacting to the allegations by Yadav, Veena pointed to an error by an officer or a Booth Level Officer.
“My house is in the Paroo block under the Sahibganj constituency. I have been contesting elections since 2001… During nominations, every time I contested an election, my name was listed in the voter list of this area… Perhaps my name was included in the voter list of Muzzaffarpur at the time of my marriage,” she said.
“At that time, I had submitted an application asking that my name be removed from that list. Now I’m unsure how my name still exists on that list, possibly due to an error by an officer or a Booth Level Officer,” she added.
