Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj party, has applied to have his name removed from West Bengal's voter list amid controversy over dual registration. The Election Commission sent him a notice after discovering his name in both Bengal and Bihar electoral rolls, which violates the Representation of the People Act. Kishor questions why the duplication wasn't addressed during Bihar's revision process and remains committed to offering a third political alternative in Bihar's upcoming elections.
