The Patna District Administration on Sunday issued a notice to Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha over allegations of holding two different EPICs (Electors Photo Identity Card).<\/p>\n

The former Deputy CM also pointed to discrepancies in the age recorded in the two voter IDs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis age is also different in both places \u2014 57 years in one, 60 years in the other. Is this not outright fraud and an age-related falsification? He has submitted two separate enumeration forms in the two different constituencies. Both forms bear his signatures, indicating that he knowingly got himself registered in two separate places,” he said.<\/p>\n

Alleging an \u201cage scam” and \u201cvoter list scam”, Yadav asked why the ECI was silent, and when action would be taken against the BJP leader. He also demanded that an FIR be filed against the Deputy CM.<\/p>\n

Vijay Sinha\u2019s Response<\/h3>\n

Sinha categorically rejected Yadav\u2019s allegation that he holds two voter IDs in different constituencies, calling it a deliberate attempt to mislead people.<\/p>\n

Sinha said his family earlier had voter IDs from Bankipur, where they used to live, but in April 2024, he applied to have his name added to the Lakhisarai constituency and removed from the Bankipur list.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt did not happen. Then I called the BLO, filled the form, took receipt,” he said, adding that despite the clerical lapse, he only casts his vote from Lakhisarai.<\/p>\n
