Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray engaged in political discussions with Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal, focusing on the integrity of elections in India. Amidst speculation of dissent within his party, Thackeray highlighted concerns over electoral irregularities while emphasizing the importance of unity among opposition parties.

In a move to bolster election integrity and opposition unity, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray has recently met with Congress’s Rahul Gandhi and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi. The conversations revolved around the challenges of maintaining free and fair elections in India.

Amid a whirlwind tour of the capital, Thackeray also consulted with Shiv Sena parliamentarians, addressing rumors of internal dissent and possible defections to the Eknath Shinde-led faction. Thackeray accused the BJP and Election Commission of facilitating electoral irregularities, sparking calls for clarity on electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter-verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs).

Thackeray pointed out discrepancies in voter lists across multiple states, advocating for a unified opposition stance against alleged voter and EVM fraud. Meanwhile, tensions simmer within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition following the felicitation of Deputy Chief Minister Shinde by NCP chief Sharad Pawar, signaling potential shifts in Maharashtra’s political landscape.
