Mumbai: An article by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi terming the 2024 state assembly polls as 'match-fixing' stirred a political controversy in Maharashtra.

Statement Of Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the Congress leader was insulting the voters and Ladki Bahins of Maharashtra. He said, “Rahul Gandhi has accepted his defeat in Bihar. As long as Rahul Gandhi keeps giving himself false assurances, his party can never win”.

Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule's Statement

Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule criticised Gandhi, saying his party will not grow until he comes out of the dark shadow of defeat.

Meanwhile, the Congress will organise torchlight processions on June 12 across the state to draw public attention towards the vote theft pattern of the 2024 polls. Sapkal said the credibility of the Election Commission of India is at stake and democracy is under threat.

The AICC leader Ramesh Chennithala said the democracy in Maharashtra was butchered in the 2024 assembly polls. With irrefutable facts, Rahul Gandhi has exposed a chilling truth: the mandate of the people in Maharashtra was hijacked, he claimed in a statement.
