The Hindu
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP workers were trying to loot booths in the State’s Mainpuri Lok Sabha constituency and detaining people from opposition parties in police stations.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on May 7 alleged that the BJP workers were trying to loot booths in the State's Mainpuri Lok Sabha constituency and detaining people from opposition parties in police stations.
"In Mainpuri, BJP people are trying to loot booths. They are detaining opposition people in police stations," Mr. Yadav said without giving details.
The Lok Sabha seat went to polls in the third round of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday.
Yadav, who cast his vote in Saifai (Etawah) for Mainpuri constituency where his wife and sitting MP Dimple Yadav is in the fray, also claimed that there is a power tussle going on within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and, therefore, its leaders give statements for "self-appeasement".
He also alleged rigging of votes at some places and said, "Information is coming from some places that the government is using force. It is heard that officers have been deployed outside polling booths." The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh said the BJP government could not give minimum support price to the farmers and more than a thousand farmers lost their lives in the agitation against "the three black farm laws".
He also indirectly referred to the Lakhimpur Kheri violence in 2021, in which four farmers were allegedly run over by a car in which Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra's son Ashish Mishra was seated, and said, "These people ran their cars over farmers. Since 2014, when the BJP government came to power, one lakh farmers committed suicide in the country." Yadav raised questions on elections being held in the scorching heat and said this is being done to deliberately trouble people.
He, however, appealed to voters to come out in big numbers and cast their ballots.
