The BJD on Monday alleged before the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) that the BJP has collected bank accounts of over 35,000 voters of the Bijepur Assembly constituency and promised to deposit money in those accounts if the concerned people decide to vote for the BJP candidate just before voting.
The party also mentioned that it has got information from a reliable source that the Central PSUs like the IOCl and the HPCl would deposit money from their CSR funds.
Besides, the ruling party has also alleged that the BJP has not submitted daily by-poll expenditures before the CEO yet.
