Rahul Didn’t Question Maharashtra Polls When MVA Won: Dy CM Shinde
The ongoing political drama in Maharashtra has taken a new turn, with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations over the state’s recent polls. In a recent statement, Shinde slammed Rahul’s claims, stating that he never questioned the results when the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance won the elections in the state.
The controversy began when Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, questioned the results of the Maharashtra polls held last year, claiming that the elections were marred by irregularities and voter suppression. Gandhi’s remarks were met with widespread criticism from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies, who accused him of trying to destabilize the state’s political climate.
However, Shinde, who is a key member of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, has hit back at Gandhi’s allegations, stating that the Congress leader never raised any questions when the MVA alliance, which includes the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Congress, and Shiv Sena, won the elections in the state.
“At that time, EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) and ECI (Election Commission of India) were right…They are now trying to spread a fake narrative,” Shinde said, implying that Gandhi’s allegations are baseless and an attempt to undermine the credibility of the poll process.
The Deputy Chief Minister also added that the people of Maharashtra are intelligent and can see through the Congress leader’s attempts to create confusion. “The public of Maharashtra is intelligent,” Shinde said, emphasizing that the people of the state are capable of making informed decisions at the polls.
Shinde’s remarks have sparked a heated debate in the state’s political circles, with many accusing Gandhi of trying to destabilize the state’s political climate. The Congress leader has been facing criticism from all sides, with many accusing him of playing politics over the issue.
The Maharashtra polls were held in October last year, and the MVA alliance won a majority of seats in the state assembly. The alliance has been facing criticism from the opposition parties, which have accused them of indulging in corrupt practices and failing to deliver on their promises.
The BJP, which is the main opposition party in the state, has been trying to capitalize on the controversy, with its leaders accusing Gandhi of trying to destabilize the state’s political climate. The party has also been trying to create a divide between the MVA alliance’s constituents, with some of its leaders accusing the Shiv Sena of being a “betrayed” ally.
Despite the controversy, the MVA alliance appears to be united in its response to Gandhi’s allegations. The alliance’s leaders have been dismissing the Congress leader’s claims as baseless and an attempt to undermine the credibility of the poll process.
