Union minister and the BJP's Amethi candidate Smriti Irani on Monday accused Congress president Rahul Gandhi of "ensuring booth capturing" in the constituency.
Irani and Gandhi are contesting against each other in the seat.
Talking to media, Smriti Irani said that she had alerted the Election Commission and state administration about alleged booth capturing in Amethi, reported Zee News.
The BJP leader added that voters in Amethi need to decide whether they want to punish Rahul Gandhi for this act or not.
"Alert @ECISVEEP Congress President @Rahul Gandhi ensuring booth capturing," Irani said on Twitter.
She also tagged a video in which an elderly woman is seen alleging that her hand was forcibly put on 'panja' (hand) election symbol of the Congress though she wanted to vote for the 'kamal' (lotus), the BJP's symbol.
