As Uttar Pradesh's Milkipur constituency is voting for a bypoll, a video of an elderly voter has surfaced online in which he openly brags that he cast six votes for the BJP.

YouTuber Amit Yadav, who interviewed the man outside a polling booth in Milkipur, shared the video on X and tagged the Election Commission and UP Police, alleging that the BJP worker cast six illegal votes for the saffron party.

In the viral video, the man with a BJP scarf claims that he is a saffron party supporter. Then he says that the election staff was so good that he alone cast six votes. Astonished by his claim, the reporter keeps repeating if he really voted six times. At the end of the clip, the man says "I am a Hindu, would I vote for a Muslim?"

Shortly after Amit Yadav's tweet, the X handle of BJP's Uttar Pradesh unit shared another video of the same man, demanding action against the YouTuber for spreading fake news about the election process.

In the 25-second clip shared by BJP, the elderly man takes a U-turn from his previous statement and claims that his family has 6 members, and all members cast their votes separately.

The man not only backed off from his claim of voting six times alone, he accused the YouTuber of offering him Rs. 2,000 for making a false claim about six votes.

Sharing the video, BJP Uttar Pradesh stated, "Samajwadi Party workers are trying to spread misleading news by posing as YouTubers. In the Milkipur by-election, a video of an elderly man was made viral with the claim that he had cast six votes alone, but the reality was entirely different. In fact, six different members of his family had voted for the BJP."

Demanding action against the interviewer, the BJP said, "The Election Commission should take immediate action against those spreading such misleading videos to ensure free and fair elections."
