RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday alleged his name was missing from Bihar's revised draft voters' list, a claim the Election Commission promptly denied by sharing his electoral details.

RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday claimed that his name was missing from the revised draft voters' list published on Friday in poll-bound Bihar.

The Election Commission swiftly refuted the allegation by sharing Yadav's details from the electoral rolls, calling it a "mischievous claim".

At a press conference in Patna, Yadav displayed his Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) number and entered it into the poll body's official mobile application, which showed a "no records found" error.

"My name is also not on the voter list. How will I contest the elections?," the RJD leader asked at the presser.

Immediately after Yadav's claim, the Election Commission released a copy of the electoral rolls showing his details, confirming that he was listed at a booth in the Veterinary College in Patna.

"It has come to our attention that Tejashwi Yadav has made a mischievous claim that his name does not appear in the draft electoral roll.
