The Samajwadi Party on Sunday alleged that the Mainpuri district administration was pressuring village and blockheads to vote for the BJP in the December 5 Mainpuri bypoll. 

A delegation of the party met Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral officer Ajay Kumar Shukla and demanded the removal of District Magistrate Avinash Kumar Rai and Senior Senior Superintendent of Police Jai Prakash Singh for allegedly misusing their administrative powers. 

In a memorandum, the SP leaders claimed that the officials were putting pressure on village heads, blockheads, district panchayat members, and others to vote for the BJP in the Mainpuri bypoll.

They said the free and fair election was not possible till these officials remained in their posts.
