"But what happened in Uttar Pradesh? For the first time you must have seen that the police, administration and officials were engaged in ensuring that no voter come out of their home as the BJP knew that it was losing the bypolls," Yadav said.

"The BJP is taking democracy to the lowest level," he added.

The SP had earlier accused the ruling BJP of misusing the administrative machinery to win the Uttar Pradesh Assembly bypolls "through manipulation".

Voting for the nine assembly seats – Meerapur, Kundarki, Sisamau, Katehari, Phulpur, Majhawan, Ghaziabad, Karhal and Khair, took place on November 20. Counting will be done on November 23.
