An FIR has been filed against two identified and 50 unidentified individuals in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, for disrupting the arrival of reserve EVMs at the counting venue, sparking tampering allegations from SP workers and resulting in legal action.

In his speech delivered at a college ground, Modi rallied support for BJP candidates Kripashankar Singh from the Jaunpur parliamentary constituency and BP Saroj from the Machhlishahr (reserved) seat. 

The BSP has replaced Srikala Reddy with sitting MP Shyam Singh Yadav as its candidate for the Jaunpur constituency, according to party sources. This decision follows the conviction of former MP Dhananjay Singh, whose wife Srikala Reddy was initially given the ticket, in a kidnapping and extortion case.
