Mumbai, June 24 (Reporter) Responding to the fresh barrage of charges by Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, regarding voter list manipulation in the state, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday argued that Congress won at more than two dozen places where the voter turnout increased by over eight percent. “…jhuth bole kauwa kate, kale kauwe se dariyo…. it’s understood that the pain of Maharashtra’s crushing defeat is growing day by day. But how long will you keep shooting arrows in the air?” he said in a post on X, while responding to the charges as he reels out facts and figures. According to him, there are more than 25 constituencies in Maharashtra where voter turnout increased by over eight percent between the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, and Congress won in many of those places. “In the West Nagpur constituency, adjacent to my South-West region, voter turnout increased by seven percent (27,065) and Congress candidate Vikas Thakre won the election. In North Nagpur also, voter turnout increased by seven percent (29,348) and Nitin Raut of Congress won. In Pune district’s Wadgaon Sheri, voter turnout increased by 10 percent (50,911) and Bapusaheb Pathare from the Sharad Pawar faction won. In Malad West, voter turnout increased by 11 percent (38,625), and your Congress party’s Aslam Shaikh won. In Mumbra, voter turnout increased by nine percent (46,041) and Jitendra Awhad from the Sharad Pawar faction won,” Fadnavis said. “Even if not with allied parties, it would have been better if you had spoken to your own party’s long-time associates like Aslam Shaikh, Vikas Thakre and Nitin Raut before this tweet. At least the Congress wouldn’t have performed so poorly due to a lack of communication,” he added...////...
