Rahul Gandhi's Vote Theft Allegations: A Political Tug-of-War in Maharashtra

In a sharp rebuttal, Maharashtra NCP president Sunil Tatkare described Rahul Gandhi's recent accusations of electoral misconduct as childish, asserting that voters are well-informed about the narratives shaped by Congress and the INDIA bloc. Tatkare suggested that Congress's inability to handle its defeat in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections is driving such claims.

At a press briefing ahead of the NCP's 'Chintan Shibir' in Nagpur, Tatkare responded to Gandhi's accusations against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and allegations of systematic deletion of Congress supporters' votes. He argued that Gandhi lacks intricate knowledge of booth-level polling processes, asserting that such claims disrupt voter confidence.

Tatkare addressed other issues, emphasizing NCP's focus on farmers' crop loss due to adverse weather and strategic appointments in state development corporations. A ruling alliance coordination committee is working on corporation head appointments, balancing representation according to party strength, with an upcoming meeting set to finalize plans.
