Addressing reporters in the state capital, the former chief minister said that officials owing allegiance to the government in the state and musclemen were at some places vitiating the atmosphere during the polls.

Amid reports that her hitherto intact Dalit votebank was being weaned away by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other parties, she warned her supporters not to be swayed by promises being made by her opponents.
