He also claimed state police obstructed SP supporters from voting in by-elections. Yadav criticized Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP for supporting the poll body amid these allegations. The BJP has denied these claims, calling for opposition parties to apologize for undermining democratic institutions.
