Error: gas required exceeds allowance or always failing transaction - web3js - ethereum

Question

I get the following error when I try to deploy a smartcontract using web3js. But if I deploy the same contract using Truffle or geth console, deployment succeeds.
Error: gas required exceeds allowance or always failing transaction
Smart Contract solidity code:
pragma solidity >=0.4.25 <0.6.0;
contract Election {
// Model a Candidate
struct Candidate {
uint id;
string name;
uint voteCount;
}
// Store accounts that have voted
mapping(address => bool) public voters;
// voted event
event votedEvent (
uint indexed _candidateId
);
// Store Candidates
// Read Candidate
mapping(uint => Candidate) public candidates;
// Store Candidates count
uint public candidatesCount;
// Constructor
constructor() public{
addCandidate('ABC');
addCandidate('XYZ');
addCandidate('PQR');
}
function addCandidate(string memory _name) private{
candidatesCount++;
candidates[candidatesCount] = Candidate(candidatesCount, _name, 0);
}
function vote(uint _candidateId) public{
// require that they haven't voted before
require(!voters[msg.sender]);
// require a valid candidate
require(_candidateId > 0 && _candidateId <= candidatesCount);
// record that voter has voted
voters[msg.sender] = true;
// update candidate vote Count
candidates[_candidateId].voteCount ++;
// trigger voted event
emit votedEvent(_candidateId);
}
}
Following is the code, I am using to deploy the smartcontract:
const provider = new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, nodeAccessToken, 1);
const web3 = new Web3(provider);
const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi);
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
try{
const deployedContract = await contract.deploy({
data: '0x' + bytecodeData, // Adding '0x' since generated bytecodedata doesn't have '0x' prefix.
arguments: args
});
let result = await deployedContract.send({
from: accounts[0],
gasPrice: 0
})
}catch(e){}
Did anyone else face the same issue?
