Prashant Kishor Voter ID Row | “Arrest Me If…”: Prashant Kishor To Poll Body On Dual Voter Entries

The Election Commission, taking note of a news report, has asked poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor to explain the duplication of his name in voter lists of Bihar and West Bengal. Kishor has hit back, asking the Comission why his name was not deleted during the SIR exercise if there was any duplication and challenged the poll body to arrest him if it was his fault. “If my name appears in two voter lists, the Election Commission should explain why my name wasn’t deleted when SIR was effected in Bihar. My name is in Karakat since 2019. I went to Bengal for two years in between, so I was a voter there. Why is the Election Commission sending a notice? If it’s my fault, arrest me,” he said.
