The party demanded a maximum of three-phase polling and urged the ECI to address security concerns and ensure a violence-free environment. BJP leaders criticized the State police's role in deploying central forces and alleged that route marches were being conducted in peaceful areas instead of sensitive locations. They also requested the ECI to redefine criteria for identifying "sensitive" polling booths.
