A row erupted after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray claimed that a person was caught voting twice due to the ink being “removable,” and he urged the people, Shiv Sena workers, and Matoshree Sena workers to be vigilant about such issues.
Thackeray said, We dont call this an election when someone comes to power through such fraudulent means.He added, The ink that was used before is being replaced with a new pen, and there are complaints about this new pen. If you use hand sanitizer, the ink disappears. Now, the only option left is to apply the ink, go outside, wipe it off, and then return inside to vote again. A new rule has been implemented for campaigning.The MNS chief further stated, This suggests that the government can do almost anything to maintain its power. We dont call this an election when someone comes to power through such fraudulent means. I appeal to the people, Shiv Sena workers, and Matoshree Sena workers to remain vigilant about all these matters. A person was caught casting a vote twice.
