The day after the Election Commission published a proposal for electoral cylinders according to a special intensive revision (Sir) in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata’s leader Dal (RJD) Tejashwi Yadav has not yet been found for the second epic number, PTI said on Saturday.
The Election Commission even noted that it was quite likely that the second epic (election photographic identity) was never made through the official channel.

ECI rejected the accusation of Tejaswi Yadava that his epic number had been changed and said that RJD leader used an electoral role with Epic No. RAB0456228 to fill in the nominees in 2020.
The ECI sources said Tejashwi had this epic number in the 2015 election role and his name with this epic number exists in the election roles.
Another epic number – RAB2916120 found that it did not exist and has been checked for more than 10 years of records and other questions were made to understand “be it forged document”, added ECI sources.
“The second epic number – it was found that the RAB2916120 did not exist. More than ten years old records have been checked. No records have been found for the second epic number. It is very likely that the second epic has never been made through the official channel.
What did Tejashwi claim?
Former Deputy Chief Minister Bihar raised accusations against ECI over the proposal of election roles published 1. August and said that his name is missing and then stated that his epic number was changed.

“If my epic number could change, then it was changed, how many epic number of people? These are the questions we ask the election commission. This is a plot that will reduce the names of people from the voters’ list,” he said.
Yadav, who is the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, claimed that his name was missing in the list of voters in the middle of a special intense revision (Sir) exercise in Bihar. “My name is in an election role. How will I attack the elections?” Tejashwi Yadav asked.
ECI Answer:
ECI explained that Tejashwi’s name is included in the list of voters on serial number 416.
The Patna District Administration also explained the situation and stated that its name is included in the number 204 election station, the Bihar Animal Science University library building. The district judge of Patna said: “Some intelligence has learned that the name of the opposition leader, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, is not in the proposal of the voter’s list of special intensive revision. In this respect, an investigation was carried out in this respect.
