EC sends notice to Bihar Dy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha for ”possessing” 2 voter cards: Officials

Patna, Aug 10: The Election Commission on Sunday issued a notice to senior BJP leader and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha for allegedly possessing two voter cards and being registered as an elector at two places, officials said.

Earlier in the day, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged that the deputy CM has two voter ID cards and asked what action was taken against Sinha.

“A notice has been served to Sinha for allegedly possessing two voter cards. He has been asked to respond to why he has two voter IDs,” an official said here.

Yadav, talking to reporters here in the morning, claimed, “Vijay Kumar Sinha is a voter from two different assembly constituencies in two districts. His name is there in the Lakhisarai assembly constituency in Lakhisarai and also in the Bankipur assembly seat in Patna district.”

In a letter issued to the deputy CM by the Electoral Registration Officer for Bankipur assembly constituency on Sunday, the ERO has sought Sinha’s reply for having registered as a voter in two different assembly constituencies and possessing two ID cards by August 14. (PTI)
