Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday slammed the Congress for ‘vote chori’ claims made by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. While speaking about the claims made by Congress and Rahul Gandhi regarding its "vote theft" allegations, CM Fadnavis, in a befitting reply, claimed that the BJP MLA from Satara district has exposed how the opposition party itself indulges in such fraudulent means.
While addressing the media on Friday, CM Fadnavis asserted, “BJP MLA Atul Bhosale has exposed how family members and associates of former CM and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan were involved in voting in more than one place,” as cited by news agency PTI.
Bhosale defeated Chavan from the Karad South Assembly constituency in the November 2024 state polls.
