Published by Webster

After the Thackeray cousins, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) lawmaker Supriya Sule raised concerns over reports on voting ink during the ongoing Maharashtra civic body elections 2026. Sule claimed that in several polling centres across the state, voters were allegedly made to wipe off the ink on their fingers after casting their votes, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the elections. The Lok Sabha MP described these incidents as “shocking and worrying” and also highlighted irregularities with electronic voting machines (EVMs). She said that in multiple locations, indicator lights failed to register votes, and some machines did not emit the usual confirmation beep after voting. She further noted that errors persisted in polling station listings and candidate sequences on certain EVMs. Sule also cited reports of cash distribution outside polling centres, which, she said, contributed to confusion and anxiety among voters. “Transparent and trustworthy voting is essential for a strong democracy, but currently, this appears to be lacking,” Sule said, warning that such incidents could undermine public confidence in the election process. राज्यातील महानगरपालिकांच्या …
