The results of Assembly Elections for five states, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Punjab, Manipur and Uttarakhand, were declared on March 10, 2022.
In the above context, a video of an NDTV news report is widely being shared on social media in which women are alleging that they were tricked into voting for BJP. In the video, they can be seen saying that they wanted to vote for the elephant symbol (election symbol of BSP) but the workers at the booth pressed lotus (election symbol of BJP) in its place and tried to tell them that it was done inadvertently.
The video was shared with a caption that read, “बूथ कैप्चरिंग खुले आम बीजेपी के पक्ष में” (English translation, “Booth capturing openly in favour of BJP.”) The caption hints that the incident of booth capturing happened during the recent State Assembly Elections.
