Naresh Meena said, yesterday at 9 am I got information that this village has boycotted the elections because the officer ended the boycott by forcing two people to vote. When I urged people to vote, I was told that they would not step back until the Collector came and gave them assurance. The entire administration was working on the instructions of the BJP government to ensure the victory of the BJP candidate. SDM intimidated three people and got them to vote fake. I asked the booth workers who forced the voting and they took the name of the SDM, so I slapped him.

Meena said that after this I continued my protest and after no one from the administration came to the booth, I became completely calm. We asked the SP to come, but he also did not come. At night, the police stopped our food vehicles on the way, when I went to get my food, the SP detained me and put me in the police van, after which stone pelting started. The police immediately fled, tear gas and pepper bombs were thrown. To save me, my supporters took me to the neighboring village. All the people arrested by the police are innocent.
