Seeking votes through financial promises inappropriate: Sharad Pawar on Ajit's remark
MUMBAI: In a swipe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's 'vote or no funds' remark, NCP (SP) head Sharad Pawar on Thursday said it was inappropriate to seek votes based on financial assurances. Speaking to reporters at Baramati in Pune district, Sharad Pawar also said the aid provided by the state government to farmers for losses due to rains and floods is not sufficient. Ajit Pawar, who heads the rival NCP, last week told voters at Malegaon in Baramati tehsil of Pune district that he will ensure there is no shortage of funds for the town if they elected the candidates of his party, but if they rejected them, he will also eject. Elections to various local bodies in the state are set to be held on December 2. Responding to the debate over who controls the state treasury following the deputy CM's comments, Sharad Pawar said there is a competition going on about how much funds to be given. Instead of seeking votes on the basis of work done, the votes are sought based on financial assurances. This thing is not appropriate. If there is only one goal to win the elections by bringing financial aspects, then what is the need to comment on such things, the senior Pawar said. On the financial aid to farmers who suffered losses due to heavy rains in some parts of the state recently, the NCP (SP) chief said there was a need to provide adequate help to cultivators who suffered damages. The state has taken a decision to stop the recovery of loans taken by farmers for one year. The measure will help the farmers temporarily, but not in the long term. Looking at the losses farmers suffered, the state should have provided partial financial aid to the farmers. This could have helped farmers adequately, he opined.

10.64 per cent of Mumbai voters have duplicate entries: SEC data
MUMBAI: Nearly 10.64 per cent or more than 11 lakh of Mumbai's 1.03 crore electorate have duplicate enrolments in the electoral roll, as per data shared by the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC). The data shows that a majority of wards with the highest number of duplicate voters were previously represented by Opposition corporators. The SEC on Wednesday extended the deadline for submitting objections from November 27 to December 3. The final voters' list will be published on December 10, according to a statement issued by the SEC. The data shows that 4.33 lakh voters appear more than once in the draft voters' list published last week, with multiple entries ranging from two to as many as 103 times. This has pushed the total number of duplicate enrolments to 11,01,505. The SEC has attributed the repetition of names to factors such as printing errors, voters' relocation, and failure to remove the names of deceased persons. Booth-level workers will now conduct field visits, fill forms, and obtain verification undertakings to ensure each voter is listed only once, officials said. An SEC official indicated that Mumbai's civic elections, slated to be completed by January 31, 2026, as per a Supreme Court directive, may see a slight delay. Depending on the pace of corrections by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the polls could either be held by the end of January or the SEC may seek an extension to the first week of February, he added. The SEC data further shows that four of the five wards with the highest number of duplicate voters were previously represented by Opposition corporators from parties such as Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Nationalist Congress Party (SP). Two of these wards fall under the Worli assembly constituency, represented by Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the ongoing revision of the voters' list. In a post on X, Aaditya Thackeray has claimed there were millions of repeated names, fraudulent household entries, and voter cards lacking basic details. Our expos on the corrupt practices of the election commission and the vote fraud in millions has led the the election commission giving us a week more to further find the vote chori. Our exercise is not to only speak about it or only expose it, we expect corrective action on Aaditya Thackeray (@AUThackeray) November 26, 2025 He warned that refusing to extend the suggestion and objection period would raise doubts about the fairness of the election process. Worli's ward no.199, earlier represented by former mayor and Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar, has the highest number of duplicate voters at 8,207. It is followed by Ghatkopar's ward no.131 with 7,741 duplicate entries, Parel-Lalbaug's ward 203 with 7,624, Kalachowki's ward 205 with 7,585, and Century Mill's ward 194 with 7,584 duplicate voters, as per the SEC data. Civic officials, meanwhile, said a drive to delete duplicate names is currently underway. A senior BMC official clarified that the figure of 11 lakh refers to the number of repeated entries and not individual persons, adding that the municipal corporation is conducting door-to-door checks to cleanse the rolls. All 25 assistant municipal commissioners have been designated as nodal officers for the rectification exercise, which will run from November 27 to December 5. The final voters' list is expected to be published thereafter.

After row over Union minister's remarks, CM Fadnavis says he'll urge PM to change name of IIT Bombay
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday that he will write to the Prime Minister requesting him to replace Bombay with Mumbai in the name of the city's Indian Institute of Technology. This comes after a row over Union Minister for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh's remarks during his speech at IIT Bombay on Monday. Singh had remarked on a lighter note, As far as IIT Bombay is concerned, thank god it still has this name. You have not changed it to Mumbai. So that's another compliment to you. And also true for Madras. It remains IIT Madras. Singh also lauded IIT Bombay, which was set up in 1958, saying the institute had been a very consistent partner of the Department of Science and Technology. Opposition parties, particularly the Raj Thackeray-led MNS, subsequently raked up a controversy, saying that BJP leaders never let go of any opportunity to insult Marathi, Mumbai and Maharashtra. In response, CM Fadnavis said that BJP leader Rambhau Naik was instrumental in getting Bombay renamed as Mumbai. We are working to remove the remaining references to Bombay in Mumbai. I personally will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Human Resource Ministry to replace the name of IIT Bombay with IIT Mumbai. Some people raise the issue for the sake of controversy and forget their children's school names. They never make a complaint and write to change the name of their children's schools, Fadnavis said. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's children studied in Bombay Scottish and Don Bosco English medium schools in Mumbai. Raj Thackeray alleged that the BJP-led Union government planned to bring Mumbai under the control of the Centre like they planned with Chandigarh. With the Mumbai Metropolitan region expansion plan, they are connecting it to Gujarat so that projects can be taken away easily from Maharashtra to Gujarat. Singh's statement has brought out a hidden truth about what the BJP and its leaders think about Mumbai and Maharashtra. Singh is from Jammu, but still he stirred this controversy just to get pats from two Gujarati leaders, the MNS leader said. Bombay was officially renamed Mumbai in 1995 by the state government to honour the local goddess Mumbadevi after whom the city is named, and to shed the remnants of British colonial rule.
