Patna: On Monday, NDA taunted Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav over his failure to cast his vote in Patna in the seventh phase of voting though other members of his family like mother Rabri Devi, sister Misa Bharti, who is contesting from Pataliputra and brother Tej Pratap Yadav cast their vote.

Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) spokesman Nikhil Anand took a potshot at the RJD leader saying he stayed away from voting since no member of the family was in the race for the PM post and claimed he does not actually accept the leadership of Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
Janata Dal(U) spokesman Neeraj Kumar wondered why Tejashwi Yadav kept touring the state urging the people to vote in the name of his jailed father Lalu Yadav but himself failed to cast his vote.
RJD national vice-president Shivanand Tiwary said as per my information, a wrong photograph had been printed against Tejashwi's name in the voters' list which may have prevented him from voting.
According to the mismatch would be corrected, it could not have prevented the RJD leader from voting had he arrived at the designated polling booth along with his voter ID card. However, RJD claimed that Tejashwi Yadav had gone out of the station after campaign came to an end on Friday evening and did not return on voting day.
