Maharashtra Deputy CM dismisses allegations of police vehicles providing financial assistance to ruling party candidates before Assembly polls.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday (November 2, 2024) dismissed NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar's allegations that police vehicles are being used to provide financial assistance to candidates of the ruling parties ahead of the Assembly polls.
Mr. Fadnavis is in Pune to meet key party workers ahead of the election scheduled to be held on November 20.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Pawar claimed that police vehicles are being used to provide financial assistance to the candidates of the ruling parties in Maharashtra during campaigning.
Addressing reporters in Baramati, Mr. Pawar said he wanted to speak more on the issue publicly but is refraining from doing so as this would hurt the officials who have shared the information with him.
Talking to reporters here, Mr. Fadnavis said the NCP (SP) chief is “hallucinating” because such things happened when the Opposition parties were in power.
The BJP leader expressed confidence that NCP rebels in the Daund and Purandar seats will withdraw their candidature.
He further said that he has urged senior leader Gopal Shetty, who was denied a ticket from Borivali seat in Mumbai, to think about the party.
