UP assembly polls: Union minister Ajay Misra Teni casts vote amid heavy security in Lakhimpur Kheri

Surrounded by a large number of security personnel, Union Minister and BJP leader Ajay Misra Teni, embroiled in a major controversy involving his son, cast his vote here for the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls on Wednesday.

The Union Minister of State for Home Affairs did not speak to the media, neither while going into the polling booth at a school in Banwaripur nor when he came out after casting his vote.

Purported videos on social media showed Mishra, whose vote falls in the Nighasan assembly constituency, walking to and fro the voting centre around 11.30 AM flanked by an unusually large number of security personnel.
