Raj Thackeray Levels Serious Accusations Against Election Commission
In a dramatic turn of events, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray has launched a scathing attack on the State Election Commission (SEC). He openly accused the SEC of showing clear bias in the electoral process.
Thackeray claimed that the entire state administration is being systematically misused by the ruling political parties. He asserted that this misuse aims to secure an unfair victory in the ongoing polls.
Controversy Surrounds Use of PADU Units
The allegations come amidst growing controversy over the deployment of Printing Auxiliary Display Units (PADU). These electronic devices have become a focal point of debate in this election cycle.
Critics argue that PADU units could potentially influence voting outcomes. Supporters maintain they simply enhance transparency and efficiency.
Raj Thackeray specifically linked the PADU issue to his broader accusations of administrative manipulation. He suggested that the technology might be exploited to favor certain candidates.
