Samajwadi Party on Sunday alleged discrepancies in the electronic voting machines (EVMs) during the third phase of polling in Uttar Pradesh.
The SP claimed that even when a voter pressed the button next to Samajwadi Party, the voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) issued a slip of the BJP.
"BJP's slip is coming out after pressing the button of SP at booth number 121 of Bhognipur assembly constituency in Kanpur Dehat. The Election Commission should take cognisance of it for ensuring smooth and fair voting," the Samajwadi Party twitter handle posted in Hindi.
The EC said that they found the complaint baseless.
"We received a complaint that a chit displaying the BJP symbol is getting generated after pressing the button against SP's cycle symbol on the EVM at booth number 21 in Bhognipur, Kanpur Dehat. This complaint has been found baseless," said Additional Chief Electoral Officer BD Ram Tiwari.
Samajwadi Party also made several other complaints urging the EC to step in and ensure "fair and smooth" elections.
On Twitter, the party alleged that the VVPAT at a booth in Hamirpur was defective. "228 Vidhan Sabha of Hamirpur district, Booth No. 432 Slip is not coming out after casting vote," the party said.
Samajwadi Party also alleged that EVMs at some polling booths in Mainpuri were malfunctioning.
In UP all eyes are on Karhal assembly seat from where Samajwadi party chief Akhilesh Yadav is contesting his first assembly election.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded Union Minister of State SP Singh Baghel from Karhal.
The SP has lost this seat only once since the party's inception in 1992.
