The Patna district magistrate clarified that the EPIC number it had in its record was “the same as the one stated by the leader of the opposition in his own affidavit in the 2020 elections”.Subsequently, the sub-divisional magistrate of Patna (Sadar), who is also the Electoral Registration Officer for Digha assembly constituency where Yadav and his family members are registered as voters, issued a letter asking the RJD leader to “hand over for thorough investigation” the voter ID card which was “not issued officially”.The RJD leader spoke to journalists at the airport here, before leaving for Delhi to attend a meeting of the INDIA bloc at the residence of Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.Regarding the meeting, he said, “We have many issues to discuss. The country is facing so many crises. The Donald Trump administration has unleashed a tariff offensive against the country, and the Narendra Modi government is maintaining a deafening silence.”Alleging that the Prime Minister has become weak, Yadav claimed there is not even a whimper of protest over tariffs being raised to 50 per cent.Trump has claimed, at least 28 times, to have intervened and brought to a halt India’s recent military conflict with Pakistan, and there is no repudiation, alleged the RJD leader.He added, “and despite such capitulation, these leaders will have the temerity to come to Bihar with boasts of being the Vishwa Guru”.Yadav, who is the INDIA bloc’s de facto chief ministerial candidate for the Bihar assembly polls, rubbished the suggestion that the NDA had stolen a march by holding its parliamentary party meeting a couple of days ago, which was addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”Seat-sharing is not something that is finalised inside the Parliament House,” the RJD leader said.
