Kedarnath: The Kedarnath assembly by-election in Uttarakhand has entered its final phase, but a controversy erupted last evening after liquor bottles were recovered from a car in the Chopta area of Tallanagpur. The car reportedly had a BJP Pradesh Working Committee sticker, raising questions about the state government and election integrity.

Congress candidate Manoj Rawat, along with his supporters, intercepted the car on Sunday evening and claimed it belonged to a BJP worker. They alleged that the BJP was distributing liquor to influence voters and misusing government machinery for electoral gains. Following the incident, Rawat and his supporters staged a protest at the spot, raising slogans against the ruling party.

Rawat accused the BJP of engaging in unethical practices, calling it a blatant attempt to sway voters. "The BJP is misusing its power and distributing liquor to manipulate the election process. This is a direct attack on democracy," he said.

In response, the BJP dismissed the allegations as baseless propaganda by Congress, aimed at tarnishing the ruling party's image out of fear of losing the election. A BJP spokesperson stated, "Congress is trying to mislead the public by fabricating such accusations. The people of Kedarnath are well aware of our development work and know whom to trust."

The BJP further alleged that Congress was attempting to influence the election by creating unnecessary controversy and added that such claims would not impact the BJP's chances in the by-poll.
