Tejashwi Yadav, a voter in Patna and a former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister, connected his phone to a large screen at a press conference in the state capital and tried to search his own EPIC number – a 10-digit unique identification number assigned to each voter – which threw up the result “no records found”.
The Election Commission sources, however, insist that Mr Yadav’s name is there in the Draft Electoral Rolls published on Friday after the month-long Special Intensive Revision, a voter list verification process.
