Cleanliness was given regarding dual voter ID card
At the same time, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha in Patna had clarified that earlier his name was registered in the voter list of Bankipur assembly constituency of Patna. In April 2024, he applied to get his name added to Lakhisarai and also applied online to remove the name from the voter list of Patna. However, for some reason the Election Commission did not remove his name from Patna and the form was rejected by the Election Commission. He said that during the SIR, when the Election Commission released the draft of the voter list, he came to know that his name was registered in two places. After this, on August 5, he applied to BLO and requested to remove his name from Patna’s voter list. He also showed both the receipts to the journalists.
