Pawar Alleges Offer To Fix 160 Assembly Seats, Fadnavis Rubbishes Claim

Gandhi on August 7 alleged that there were 100,250 “stolen” votes in the Mahadevapura assembly segment of Bangalore (Central) parliamentary constituency that helped the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win the seat in 2024, accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of “colluding” with the ruling party.

Gandhi also alleged that a similar pattern had occurred in Maharashtra, where the BJP won the assembly elections just four months after the Lok Sabha polls. His presentation, which also included names of the voters involved, had prompted an immediate reaction from ECI, which had asked him to send a signed declaration and oath to the effect.

Gandhi, however, dismissed the demand, saying he had already taken an oath on the Constitution in Parliament.
