Meanwhile, MLA Aditya Thackeray gave a special presentation in which he made allegations regarding vote theft. The allegations made by him and the evidence presented are now being discussed everywhere. He claimed that there is a huge discrepancy in the voter list.

Aditya Thackeray’s claim

Aditya Thackeray started his presentation at the beginning of the meeting. He said that there has been a huge scam in the voter list. Along with this he presented many statistics, photographs, and examples of voting cards.

He said that if this alleged disturbance is to be stopped, then the group leaders will have to be alert. He instructed that you should read the voter list that you have and see whether you really know these voters or not.

What allegations did Aditya Thackeray make?

During this meeting, he alleged, ‘We are waiting for when the elections will be held, but the most important thing in this is vote theft. Vote theft means election theft. After the Lok Sabha elections, it seemed that the Mahavikas Aghadi government would come, but they stole the votes. Aditya Thackeray said that people used to tell him ‘there is a glitch in the EVM’, ‘there is a glitch in the VVPAT’, but now the irregularities have come to light in the voter list itself.

At the time of Lok Sabha elections, there were 2,52,970 voters in Worli Assembly constituency, which increased to 2,63,352 in the Assembly elections. That means there was an increase of 16,043 votes in just a few months. He said that 19,333 voters are doubtful in Worli area. The names of 502 voters are almost identical.

For example, the name of voter Girish Gajanan Mhatre’s father has been mentioned as Bhanji Patel. Apart from this, the gender of women voters like Gauri Gagan Gupta and Tejshree Hadkar has been described as ‘male’. The gender of a total of 643 voters has been wrongly recorded.

Mistakes in photos, addresses and dead voters

In Worli area, there are 4,177 voters who have no address, the home address of 67 voters has only ‘Jho Jho Jho’ written in them. He alleged that 38 voters are registered in a single room. Some voter cards do not have photographs. One card has only a picture of a nose.

Aditya Thackeray said this is not limited to Worli only. There are lakhs of such voters in Mumbai. Some voters are dead, but are still present in the list. Multiple people are shown at the same address on multiple cards. After these allegations of Aditya Thackeray, there has been an earthquake in the politics of Maharashtra.

At the same time, in the video, the original caption said, “Rahul Gandhi’s claim of vote theft has turned into a PR crisis. First the Election Commission gave a 7 -day ultimatum to present evidence about all the claims of Rahul Gandhi and now people themselves are exposing him from all sides.”

The caption further said, “It was a scripted PR, told us about votes theft during the journey but our names are in the voter list. The next apology from Rahul Gandhi is coming soon.”
