Big political fireworks are lighting up India! Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has taken a bold stand, backing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s explosive claim of "vote theft" in recent elections. Aaditya didn’t hold back when he said, "We had been saying this for a long time now that vote theft has indeed happened across the country, and that EC is operated through the BJP office." He added, "What Rahul Gandhi has shown are not empty claims. He has unearthed 'vote theft'..." Aaditya also challenged the Election Commission (EC) to stop issuing rebuttals and instead face Rahul Gandhi in an open debate. "I think instead of challenging, EC should debate with Rahul Gandhi...The information we have gathered is from their website itself. So, is their website and records incorrect?" Aaditya asked. But that’s not all! Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar dropped another bombshell. Ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024, two mysterious men approached him in Delhi, claiming they could guarantee 160 out of 288 seats in the state. Surprised but curious, Pawar quickly arranged a meeting with Rahul Gandhi to hear them out. Yet, in a show of strong principles, both leaders refused to entertain such offers, with Pawar saying, "This is not our path." These dramatic revelations come as Rahul Gandhi intensifies his fight, accusing the Election Commission of colluding with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He slammed the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, calling them "choreographed" to favor the BJP, which seems "immune to anti-incumbency." Rahul Gandhi’s team analyzed Karnataka’s results, expecting 16 wins but landing only nine. One glaring case was the Mahadevapura seat, where Gandhi alleged a jaw-dropping vote theft of 1,00,250 votes. This whirlwind of allegations has grabbed the nation’s attention, raising tough questions about election fairness. Will the Election Commission answer the call for a debate? And what other secrets lie behind the curtains of Indian politics? Stay tuned for more masaledar updates!
