'EC Should Probe Pawar's Remarks': Sena UBT Slams Ajit Pawar's 'You Have Votes, I Have Funds' Dhamki

This special report covers the controversy surrounding Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's remarks during a civic poll campaign in Malegaon. While urging the public to vote for his NCP candidates, Pawar was filmed warning voters that while they have the votes, he has the funds, and that if they reject his candidates, he will reject them. A Sena UBT leader stated, 'This money belongs to the people...Whether it's me, Ajit Pawar, or someone else, whether they come or go, the government will remain'. The opposition has strongly condemned Pawar's behaviour, labelling it a threat to democracy and a violation of the code of conduct. The Sena UBT has demanded that the Election Commission of India take immediate notice of the incident, accusing Pawar of attempting to buy votes and increase corruption.
