Representative of the main Minister Maharashtra Eknath Shinde on Thursday (August 7, 2025), who dubbed as “unfounded” claims of “huge criminal election fraud”, which Rahul Gandhi filed after the loss of elections.
In an exclusive video interview with PTI, Mr. Shinde said that the Mahayuti of BJP-Shiv Sen-NCP registered the victory of landslides in the elections to the Maharashtra gathering purely on the basis of public social security programs such as “Ladki Bahin” and pro-Farming Initiative.
“In Lok Sabha’s elections, Maha Vikas Aghadi’s opposition won 30 seats in Mahari while we got 17 seats. It means (MVA) stolen a mandate? When you won elections in Telangana and Karnataka, you dedicated to EVM and steal or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft or theft The theft of the vote gave up.
He claimed that the Mahayuti government was committed to public well -being and people approved the various initiatives that the government accepted, which was also reflected in the victory of the landslide of the ruling alliance.
“When you win the elections, the election commission is good. When you win the elections, EVM is good. But if you lose, you raise accusations and blame everyone. This is a policy where a bad worker always accuses this instrument.
The leader of Shiv Sena said that accused of balanced gandhi are “unfounded” and are caused by the intention of “tarnish” the image of the election commission and the government.
Mr. Shinde also intervened at Bete-Noire Uddhav Thackery for participation in a meeting in Mr. Gandhi’s residence, the opposition leader in Lok Sabha.
“It is surprising that he (Mr. Thackey) visits the residence of a party leader who rewarded a person who caught the right of the founder of Shiv Sena Balasheb Thackery,” Shinde said.
He said that Congress rewarded the main election commissioner of the time, abolishing the Thackery Balassa with the ministerial bed.
“You meet people who have traveled Balasaheb, you meet people who have offended Savarkar … who questioned the Sindoor operation and the courage of the armed forces,” Shinde said.
Regarding the opposition led by Congress, which questioned the revision of election roles in Bihar, Shinde said that opposition parties realized that they were heading for defeat and therefore prepare the ground for it.
“When they see the defeat, they start preparing the ground for it. They began to realize that they were losing Bihar, so they began to attack Sir,” he said.
“These attempts to create perception are not always successful. People are intelligent,” said Mr. Shinde.
He also hit Mr. Thackery for calling him “Gaddar” (traitor).
The representative of the main minister said it was Mr. Thackery, who betrayed the mandate of the people in the Maharashtra elections in 2019 and joined the hand with congress and NCP.
“The word used by UDDHAV Thackery is a concise description of itself. In 2019, Maharashtra gave the mandate of Shiv-Bjp to create a government. Who did he equalize? Congress, only to become chairman to become the chairman of CM.
He said that people Maharashtra taught real betrayal lessons in the elections to the assembly of 2024.
“Even they did not win the mandate to be recognized as the opposition leader. The inhabitants of Maharahtra gave the rubber stamp on the real betrayal of the state through election results,” Shinde said.
He also set out on Mr. Thackery for criticizing him for meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Interior Minister Amit Shah.
“When I meet Modi Ji and Amit Bhai, they make a lot of noise and claim to have met my masters. We are proud to meet people who have contributed to the development of Maharashtra. These are people who brought Balasheb’s dreams into reality by eliminating Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir Kashmir, ”said Mr. Shindes.
