D Fadnavis On Rahul Gandhi’s Poll Claim

Published by Webster

Introspect, apologise was the message from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to Rahul Gandhi, just hours after the Congress leader alleged new voters were added mostly in constituencies where the BJP won in the Maharashtra election. Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Monday alleged that about 70 lakh voters, equivalent to Himachal Pradesh’s population, were added to the electoral rolls in Maharashtra between the Lok Sabha and state elections. “Introspect instead of insulting Maharashtra! You have insulted the people of Maharashtra, the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Bharat Ratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Phule and Veer Savarkar. You have questioned the democratic mandate given by the people of Maharashtra to the NDA just because your party was vanquished,” hit back Mr Fadnavis, whose BJP, with 132 seats, recorded its best-ever performance in the state, while the Congress managed to win just 16 seats in the November polls. “Instead of introspection, you are indulging in slander. The people of Maharashtra won’t forgive you for this. Apologise Mr. Rahul Gandhi!” Mr Fadnavis added. Introspect instead …

Published by Parlour News

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Devendra Fadnavis is set to reverse his fortunes Thursday as he is poised to take oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the third time. As the BJP recorded a stunning victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Fadnavis was seen as the man for the top post in the state. The seal of approval, however, came 10 days after the Mayayuti’s victory. The delay came as the BJP tried to placate its Mahayuti ally and outgoing CM Eknath Shinde, whose Shiv Sena insisted he remain at the top post. Finally, on December 3, the saffron party and Fadnavis managed to bring Shinde and his Shiv Sena around.

In Maharashtra village, winning candidate and some residents plan repoll using ballot papers, backtrack after police step in | Pune News

Published by Parlour News

A plan to “hold re-election using ballot papers” in Markadwadi village of Maharashtra’s Malshiras assembly constituency – to “verify” polling done through EVMs – was cancelled after the police warned of action citing orders of the administration. The “polling” was to start at 8 am, but the police issued prohibitory orders to prevent people from gathering. Elected NCP (SP) candidate Uttamrao Jankar, who led the call for re-polling, claimed the plan was cancelled following police pressure. The village is considered Jankar’s stronghold. In the November 20 state polls, the results of which were declared on November 2, Jankar defeated sitting BJP legislator Ram Satpute by 13,147 votes. Jankar won the seat, but Markadwadi residents claimed he polled fewer votes in their village against Satpute, which was implausible. Jankar got 843 votes, while BJP candidate Satpute got 1,003 votes in the village. After the administration raised objections about the re-polling, heavy police deployment was arranged in the village. Some villagers printed ballot papers with the names of all candidates and party symbols in the same sequence …
