After the completion of voting for Bihar Assembly elections, the counting of votes is now awaited. Earlier, a big controversy had arisen in Rohtas district regarding a truck loaded with empty boxes. Bihar’s opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has alleged that a truck loaded with EVMs entered the counting center of Sasaram without any information. RJD workers sat on strike regarding this.

Many questions have been raised by sharing a video from RJD’s official X account. It has been asked why the truck allegedly loaded with EVMs was entered into the counting center of Sasaram (Rohtas district) by the district administration without any prior information and transparency? Why were the truck drivers sent away without bringing them to light? Why was the CCTV camera feed closed here since 2 o’clock?

RJD made this appeal to the Election Commission

Seven RJD members have demanded that the complete footage be released and the administration be told what is inside the truck. Regarding this, RJD has also tagged Bihar Election Commissioner and Election Commission and sought clarification. Also warned that if the truth is not revealed, thousands of people will reach the polling booth to stop the alleged ‘vote theft’.
