The Election Commission has outright rejected former Deputy Chief Minister and opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav's claims of being removed from the voter list. According to official information, Tejashwi Yadav's name is present on the voter list. The EPIC number (RAB0456228) mentioned in his 2020 assembly election nomination remains valid and recorded. Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary has criticized Tejashwi, alleging potential misconduct involving multiple voter IDs for his followers.

The Election Commission states that Tejashwi Yadav's name is clearly in the drafted voter list published on August 1st. He also had the same EPIC number in the 2015 list, nullifying removal claims.
