RJD leader and Bihar’s former deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “winning elections on the strength of the Election Commission.” He accused the BJP government of “vote theft”.
He also accused the Election Commission of “working at a war-like pace to suppress opposition votes while adding votes in favour of the BJP”.
Taking to social media platform X on Wednesday, Tejashwi wrote, “Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has no charisma; he is winning elections on the strength of constitutional institutions like the Election Commission. In 2020, they forcibly took more than 10 seats from us in the Bihar Assembly elections with a margin of 12,756 votes. The same happened in Maharashtra, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. They are vote thieves and are in power on the strength of vote theft.”
The RJD leader also alleged that the ECI was “helping the BJP leaders” to secure two voter cards in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections, as per a PTI report. Addressing a press conference in Patna, Tejashwi alleged that names of people from other states were being added to Bihar’s voter list during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) ahead of the Assembly election.
With polls approaching, Dalsaniya has removed his name from Gujarat’s voter list and become a voter in Bihar: Tejashwi
Taking to X, he shared a photograph of State General Secretary (Bihar) Bhikhubhai Dalsaniya, he wrote, “This is Bhikhu Bhai Dalsania Ji. He is a resident of Gujarat. He is the State Organisation General Secretary of Bihar BJP. He is a close confidant of Prime Minister Modi Ji and Home Minister Amit Shah Ji. He has been assigned to BJP’s special #Bihar project.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he voted in Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji’s Lok Sabha constituency, Gandhinagar. Now, with the Bihar Assembly elections approaching, he has removed his name from Gujarat’s voter list and become a voter in Bihar. Once the Bihar elections are over, he will likely become a voter in another state. He should clarify how many times and in how many states he votes in a span of five years.
In the place in Bihar where he is registered as a voter, no address or house number is listed in the voter list. His name in Bihar’s voter list is written not in Hindi but in the Gujarati language, so that no Hindi-speaking person can read it. The Election Commission’s greatness is boundless, but this time we are closely monitoring every detail. We will not let the Election Commission’s vote theft succeed in Bihar.”

How can Nirmala Devi have two different votes in same constituency, with two EPIC cards? Tejashwi asks
In a separate X post, Tejashwi accused the Election Commission of allowing Muzaffarpur Mayor Nirmala Devi and her two brothers-in-law, Manoj Kumar and Dilip Kumar to have two different EPIC cards each, with two different votes at two different booths.
He wrote on X, “Another revelation today: Mrs. Nirmala Devi is a prominent BJP leader and the Mayor of Muzaffarpur. She possesses two EPIC IDs – REM1251917 and GSB1835164. She has two different votes at two different booths in the same constituency. Her two different EPIC cards list two different ages. In the SIR, she filled out two different enumeration forms. During the voter list revision, she must have signed two different forms with two different signatures. The Election Commission verified that the Mayor herself signed these two different forms. How did she end up with two different votes in the same constituency, with two different EPIC cards and two different ages, in the new draft list published by the Election Commission?”
Election Commission facilitating creation of multiple fake votes for BJP supporters: Tejashwi
He further wrote, “This collusion with the Election Commission doesn’t stop here – her two brothers-in-law, Manoj Kumar and Dilip Kumar, sons of Shri Asharfi Lal, also have two different EPIC cards each, with two different votes at two different booths. This means they too must have filled out two different forms in the SIR and provided two different signatures.
When the Election Commission itself is doing this in a single constituency, what is the point of the SIR? This implies that the Election Commission is facilitating the creation of multiple fake votes for BJP supporters within a single household.”
“She (Nirmala Devi) is a potential BJP candidate from Muzaffarpur, so is the Election Commission helping her by creating fake votes in her favour?” Tejashwi asked.
Election Commission is working at a war-like pace to suppress opposition votes: Tejashwi
He also accused the Election Commission of “working at a war-like pace to suppress opposition votes while adding votes in favour of the BJP” and wrote, “Tell me, how can prominent people have two different EPIC cards with two different ages and two different votes in the same constituency? If this isn’t dishonesty by the Election Commission, then what is?
The people of Bihar have known since 2020 that these people are vote thieves. By rigging with a margin of just 12,756 votes, they forcibly made us lose 15 seats. This time, the public will deal with them and drive them out in such a way that even their future generations will remember.
There is no magic of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji; these people are forming governments by rigging and manipulating votes with the help of constitutional institutions like the Election Commission.”
