But it is not a single case.”
He said, “The purpose of the special intensive revision (SIR) process in Bihar is to find out other irregularities along with similar duplicate and fake names and to remove the voter list of Bihar. No compromise can be made with the prestige of the voter list, no matter how high the high-profile person is.

At the same time, Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly, publicly claimed on Saturday (August 2, 2025) that the Election Commission cut his name from Bihar’s voter list under Bihar SIR. After this claim of Tejashwi, a big political ruckus arose. He held a press conference and accused the Election Commission of conspiring.
He said in the post on his X account, “The process of voter list revision (SIR 2025) has been deliberately rigged. The Election Commission is now reversing with its own promises. Even after cutting the votes of 65 lakh voters, there is an ambiguity in the new draft list even after cutting the votes of 65 lakh voters.

Election Commission rejected the claims of Tejashwi Yadav
At the same time, Patna District Magistrate and Chief Election Officer (CEO) Dr. Tyagarajan SM told the news agency ANI, “The name of the Leader of Opposition is definitely present in the voter list. His claim of not having his name in the voter list is completely wrong. His name is still recorded at the same booth where he was available in the public domain and it can be seen in the public domain.”
He said, “We are telling about the same epic number he gave in the affidavit filed during the nomination in the 2020 Bihar assembly elections. Now if they are talking about another epic card, then we have to see it. The epic card he gave in 2020 is still valid. No change has been made.”
