Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party, which is the principal opposition in the state, is accusing the BJP of electoral fraud in the run-up to the polls.
Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav accused the BJP of manipulating voter lists through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, alleging that opposition votes were being deleted and fake votes added.
Yadav said, "BJP is trying to hide its actions, but the people know that SIR has been used to manipulate voter lists by deleting opposition votes and adding fake ones. Akhilesh Yadav has submitted evidence to the Election Commission, but no action has been taken."
