**ECI Refutes Tejashwi Yadav’s Claim of Electoral Roll Omission**
**Patna, Bihar:** A political controversy erupted today after Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged that his name was missing from the draft electoral roll for Bihar. Yadav publicly voiced his concerns, suggesting potential irregularities in the electoral process.
However, the Election Commission of India (ECI) swiftly countered Yadav’s claims. In a statement released shortly after, the ECI firmly denied the RJD leader’s assertion, labeling it “factually incorrect.” The ECI provided no further details but assured the public of the accuracy and integrity of the electoral rolls.
The conflicting statements have sparked debate in Bihar’s political circles, with analysts speculating on the potential implications for upcoming elections. The RJD has yet to respond to the ECI’s rebuttal, leaving the matter unresolved. The incident highlights the importance of accurate electoral rolls and the scrutiny they are subjected to, especially during periods of heightened political activity.
