The Maha Vikas Aghadi has accused the Mahayuti government of deleting the names of pro-MVA voters from the electoral rolls ahead of Maharashtra Elections 2024. It said a government-appointed workforce employed for Yojana Doot Scheme was doing this job on the behest of the ruling parties that wanted 10,000-20,000 names deleted from the constituencies where MVA was leading in previous elections, including Lok Sabha polls.
      
The MVA leaders addressed a media conference before submitting a complaint to the State Electoral Officer S Chokkalingam on Friday. State Congress president Nana Patole, opposition leader in the Assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar, opposition leader in the Council, Ambadas Danve, Shiv Sena (UBT) member of Lok Sabha, Anil Desai, and NCP (SP) leader Jitendra Awhad comprised the delegation.

Patole presented a video in which the sarpanch of Telana in Buldhana district, Kiran Gadekar, was seen explaining how the names were deleted online by using Form-7 (provided by the Election Commission of India). "We want the Yojana Doot scheme scrapped because the interns who are paid by the government are going door to door to get the job done, without the knowledge of the voters," added Patole. "I tell the BJP that it should fight us face to face instead of attacking us from behind. Mahayuti is playing foul. Let's check the electoral rolls first," he said further.
