SP Candidate Breaks Down, Alleges Booth Capturing in Agra MLC Polls

The political confrontation in the Agra teacher and graduate MLC election intensified after Samajwadi Party candidate Dr. Akash Agarwal broke down and cried in front of the camera. He levelled serious allegations against administrative officials and questioned the role of the administration in the election.

Dr. Akash Agarwal alleged that booth capturing was taking place openly in Kheragarh, Fatehabad and Chhata, and claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party was involved. He also alleged that no action was taken despite complaints being submitted to the administration.

The SP candidate accused the government machinery of misbehaving with him. He said that his faith in the election process and the justice system was being lost. He also alleged that arbitrary actions were carried out after a room was closed in the name of having food.

A purported video of booth capturing at the Fatehabad block has also gone viral. The allegations have heated up the election atmosphere in Agra.

While speaking emotionally, Dr. Akash Agarwal said, “I will go to Shahi Jama Masjid and accept Islam.” He also said, “Put me in jail along with my family.”

Agra Divisional Commissioner Nagendra Pratap Singh responded to the allegations made by the SP candidate. He said that every allegation would be investigated.
