Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav says, "...The biggest task of the BJP is to conspire and plot... SIR could have been brought in a year ago... Under the pretext of SIR, they want to massively manipulate public votes. Today, they (Election Commission) are asking for an affidavit from Rahul Gandhi. The Samajwadi Party provided information with an affidavit about 18,000 votes that were deleted almost 2 years ago and lodged a complaint, but no action has been taken against any officer so far. If action is taken against even a single officer or district official, no one's vote will be tampered with. BJP people have always violated rights, but now they also want to violate voting rights.
