BSP chief Mayawati has alleged voting irregularities in the recent Uttar Pradesh bypolls, asserting that her party will refrain from contesting future by-elections until the Election Commission addresses fake voting.
She also accused Yogi Adityanath's state government of inciting violence in Sambhal during a mosque survey.
Despite fielding candidates across all nine Assembly seats on November 20, the BSP was pushed to third or lower positions in all, exacerbating criticism as a 'vote cutter' potentially aiding BJP victories.
