AIUDF leader alleges BJP rigged votes in Nagaon bypoll, claims Badruddin Ajmal was actual winner

Former Dhing MLA Aminul Islam has alleged that the BJP manipulated votes in the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll to ensure the victory of BJP candidate Devasish Sharma, claiming that AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal had actually won the election.

Islam made the allegations while participating in a thanksgiving rally alongside Ajmal in Samaguri, where the leaders thanked voters for their support.
“People had elected Maulana Badruddin Ajmal as their MP, but the BJP forcibly ensured Devasish Sharma's victory,” Islam alleged.

He further claimed that BJP workers, in coordination with independent agents, deployed 16 to 20 agents at a single polling station to facilitate alleged vote rigging.

According to Islam, these agents cast votes in the names of people working outside the state.

The Dhing MLA also alleged that the BJP had fraudulently cast around one to two lakh votes belonging to Muslims working outside Assam.

The allegations were made during the rally, but no supporting evidence was provided in the statement. The claims could not be independently verified.

Meanwhile, Hafiz Ilyas Hussain Ansari thanked the people of Samaguri for what he described as the change demonstrated in the constituency.

Inviting the people of Samaguri to visit Dhubri, Ansari claimed that the BJP would lose there by a margin of 20 lakh votes in the future.

“Insha Allah, come to Dhubri. They will lose by 20 lakh votes,” he said.
