Earlier, the Congress had also raised questions about the turnout of the first and second phases. Congress General Secretary Avinesh Pandey questioned how the voter turnout increased from 60 to 66% 11 days after the elections. Pandey called it a fraud on the country’s population. According to him, the committee must clarify how the voting percentage increased, which becomes final on voting day, after 11 days of voting. On BJP’s claim of ‘this time it has crossed four hundred times’, he said that after two phases of elections, the picture is becoming clearer and for the last eight days, BJP leaders have stopped making this claim in their meetings.
