UP by electoral vote 2024: The day everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. Today, i.e. November 20, voting has begun for the by-elections to nine Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats. During the voting, the Ambedkar Nagar MP made serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party. He said that BJP people are distributing liquor and money and this has reached the level of fraud in politics. He said: “In my 44-year political career, I have never seen such dishonesty in a by-election.”
The district administration is also dishonest
Verma alleged that the police and district administration were also being dishonest. He claimed that people were being prevented from voting and that the administration was trying to influence the election. He also said that despite the implementation of the code of conduct, the district magistrate handed over 29 scooters to women of the Sakhi group, which were distributed only in Katehari. Apart from this, sewing machines and cash were also given to the women of the Sakhi group.
Pressure on Pradhans and Kotedars
He also alleged that after the implementation of the code of conduct, Pradhans and Kotedars were pressured to vote in favor of the BJP. An investigation team was sent against the protesting bosses. He also said that the police have been creating a ruckus for a week, especially in areas where the Muslim population is high. There, the police intimidate and threaten people and do not allow them to leave their homes.
party inviting a large number of people
Verma also said that the booth where he won by a wide margin has been sensitized. BJP people are inviting large number of people and organizing parties but no action has been taken in this regard. At the same time, the police act against people from other communities. Additional SP met some bosses and tempted them.
The administration is distributing liquor and money.
Verma claimed that the administration was distributing liquor and money and all this was happening through Pradhans and Kotedars. He further informed that only Rs 23,000 was found with his worker, after which a case was opened against him and false news was spread that he was distributing the money. Citing the Election Commission’s instructions, Verma said any person can carry up to Rs 50,000.
