Title: Woman’s Voter ID Features Nitish Kumar’s Pic After Address Correction Request in Bihar
In a bizarre incident, a 30-year-old woman in Bihar received a revised voter ID card featuring the image of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar instead of her own. The woman, Abhilasha Kumari, had submitted a request to update her address on her voter ID, and while the address was successfully corrected, her photograph was replaced with that of the Bihar CM.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the efficiency and accuracy of the voter ID issuance process in the state. Abhilasha’s husband, Raj Kumar, has termed the mistake as “serious negligence” and has demanded an explanation from the authorities.
According to reports, Abhilasha had submitted a request to change her address on her voter ID card. However, when she received the revised card, she was shocked to find Nitish Kumar’s image instead of her own. The photograph was not just a simple replacement, but a candid shot of the CM, which has left many wondering how such a mistake could have occurred.
Abhilasha’s husband, Raj Kumar, told the media that his wife had received the revised voter ID card a few days ago. “We were surprised to see Nitish Kumar’s picture on her voter ID card. We immediately contacted the electoral office and demanded an explanation. They told us that it was an error and that they would rectify the issue,” he said.
The incident has sparked concerns about the voter ID issuance process in the state. “This is a serious mistake and it raises questions about the efficiency of the system. How could they replace a person’s photograph with that of the CM without verifying the details?” asked Raj Kumar.
The Bihar Chief Electoral Officer, HR Srinivas, has promised to investigate the matter and take necessary action. “We have received the complaint and are investigating the matter. We will take appropriate action against those responsible for the mistake,” he said.
This is not the first time that errors have been reported in the voter ID issuance process in Bihar. In the past, several cases of incorrect photographs and addresses have been reported, leading to concerns about the accuracy of the electoral roll.
The Election Commission of India has been working to improve the voter ID issuance process, and has introduced several measures to ensure the accuracy of the electoral roll. However, incidents like this one highlight the need for further improvement and vigilance.
In conclusion, the incident of Abhilasha Kumari receiving a revised voter ID card featuring Nitish Kumar’s pic after address correction request in Bihar is a serious concern.
