Peoples Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti, on Thursday, alleged that uniformed personnel forced people to vote for the BJP and claimed that the EVMs malfunctioned in some places with the Congress button not working during the first phase of polling in Jammu’s Poonch area.

Mufti took to Twitter and shared a video showing voters raising anti-BJP slogans after they were purportedly roughed up by the BSF for not voting for the BJP.
