Muzaffarnagar, UP, Feb 13 (IBNS) Bypolls are being held in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, the scene of the 2013 communal riots, along with Deoband on Saturday.
The polls are necessitated by the demise of sitting Samajwadi Party legislator Chitaranjan Swaroop (Muzaffarnagar) and Rajinder Rana (Deoband). 
 
Polls are also being held in Bikapur in Faizabad district of UP too.
 
The situation was communally charged in the run up to the polls in Muzaffarnagar where BJP has fielded  Kapil Aggarwal to fight against its direct rival of the Samajwadi Party.
 
BJP had upped the ante ahead of polls appealing voters to vote for them to save the honour of their women.
 
It urged voters to “teach a lesson” to those who falsely framed cases against innocents after the riots in 2013. 
 
More their 3,00,000 voters, including 1,54,055 women, are eligible to vote in Muzaffarnagar across 312 polling stations.
