Sapkal said the voter list in the Chief Minister's constituency saw an 8% rise within just five months, with certain booths witnessing a 20–50% surge.
Booth Level Officers have reported that unknown individuals cast votes, yet the Election Commission has remained silent, he claimed, calling it "a case of vote rigging".
He said this is the reason his party has demanded the immediate release of a machine-readable digital voter list and the CCTV footage.
"The key question remains: how did the BJP alliance, which faced a humiliating defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, secure a massive win in the Assembly polls just five months later? During this period, the BJP, with the help of the Election Commission, manipulated the voter rolls and increased the vote count. There was an 8% discrepancy between the votes recorded after 5 PM and the final figures announced the next day.
'
The Election Commission has not provided a satisfactory explanation for this anomaly to date. Instead, it introduced rules limiting access to information and even decided to delete all CCTV footage after 45 days. This, too, is part of the effort to cover up the vote-rigging," Sapkal added.
