This special report focuses on Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor, who is under scanner after the Election Commission issued him a notice for allegedly being enrolled as a voter in two states, Bihar and West Bengal. The issue was highlighted by BJP's Amit Malviya, who pointed out that Kishor is registered in both states, which is against electoral law. According to official records, Kishor is registered in Bihar's Sasaram constituency and also at the address of the Trinamool Congress headquarters in Kolkata. The Election Commission has demanded a clarification from Kishor within three days. The controversy emerges as Kishor's Jan Suraaj party prepares for elections in Bihar.
