If Tejashwi has 2 EPIC numbers, it’s the EC’s fault: Congress
In the ongoing political drama in Bihar, the latest controversy has unfolded after the BJP claimed that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has two EPIC (Electors’ Photo Identity Card) numbers. In response, Congress spokesperson Ranjeet Ranjan has come out with a statement, saying that if this is indeed the case, then it’s a fault in the Election Commission’s system and their website.
Ranjeet Ranjan, while addressing the media, said, “An individual can’t be held responsible for this. It’s the EC’s website and system that have to be held accountable.” She added that this development also raises serious questions about the security of the electoral process, and the possibility of BJP supporters voting with two EPIC numbers cannot be ruled out.
The BJP had levelled the allegations against Tejashwi Yadav, claiming that he has two EPIC numbers, which is a violation of the Election Commission’s guidelines. However, the RJD has denied the allegations, saying that Tejashwi Yadav has only one EPIC number.
This controversy has brought to the fore the issue of electoral integrity and the need for foolproof measures to prevent fraudulent voting. The Election Commission has been accused of being lenient towards the BJP and its allies, and this latest development has raised further questions about the impartiality of the electoral process.
The EC’s website is supposed to be the primary source of information for voters, and any discrepancies in the data can have serious consequences. The controversy surrounding Tejashwi Yadav’s EPIC numbers has highlighted the need for the EC to upgrade its system and ensure that the data is accurate and reliable.
In recent times, the EC has faced criticism for its handling of the electoral process. From the controversy surrounding the EVMs to the allegations of booth capturing, the EC has been accused of being unable to ensure a free and fair election. The latest controversy surrounding Tejashwi Yadav’s EPIC numbers is just another example of the EC’s failure to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
The Congress, in its statement, has also accused the EC of being biased towards the BJP and its allies. Ranjeet Ranjan said, “The EC has a history of being lenient towards the BJP and its allies. This is just another example of how they are trying to undermine the democratic process.”
The controversy surrounding Tejashwi Yadav’s EPIC numbers has also raised questions about the security of the electoral process. If an individual can have multiple EPIC numbers, then it’s a serious breach of security. The EC needs to take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that the electoral process is secure.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Tejashwi Yadav’s EPIC numbers is a serious issue that highlights the need for the EC to upgrade its system and ensure that the data is accurate and reliable. The Congress is right in saying that the EC’s website and system are to blame, and not the individual. The EC needs to take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that the electoral process is secure.
