However, state BJP Election Committee Convenor Kailash Nath Bhatt said the polling was held in a "free and peaceful" manner and it did not warrant repolling.

In a letter to the state chief electoral officer, he also said BJP candidate Col Kirori Singh Bainsala had expressed concerns that some of the EVMs used in Gangapur city and Bamanwas had reached the district head quarters "late" and that there were chances of them being tampered.
