Bombay HC bench order delays Maharashtra local body results to Dec 21; Opposition raises concern

MUMBAI: Following directions from the Bombay High Courts Nagpur bench, the State Election Commission has postponed the local body polls result to December 21 instead of December 3. The local body elections for Nagar Panchayat and Parishad voting were held on Tuesday, and the results were initially scheduled for December 3. However, after the courts instructions, the counting has been rescheduled to December 21, alongside the results of other local body elections. Voting for the remaining local bodies is set for December 20. The court also directed that no person shall publish or publicise, through print, electronic media, or any other means, any exit poll results during the period starting from the beginning of polling hours on December 2 until half an hour after the polls close on December 20. The court further stated that the model code of conduct will continue to apply until the declaration of results. The opposition raised questions over the delay in announcing the counting day, despite the schedule set by the State Election Commission. Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal said that he has witnessed several elections but has never seen such a change to the election result schedule announced on the day of voting. He alleged that the public is losing trust in the election process due to manipulations by the ruling party. We have seen how people with bogus Aadhar and election ID were casting their votes. Our congress workers identified these bogus voters and informed the police, but no action was taken against the bogus voters. Now, there is a delay in the election result. All are very surprising, Sapkal said.

Violence, clashes reported in first phase of Maharashtra local body polls

The first phase of polling for 264 municipal councils and nagar panchayats in Maharashtra on Tuesday was marred by violence, clashes and allegations of malpractice across several districts, police said. Despite the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar-led NCP being allies at the state level, their workers fought each other in multiple places, with some local units even tying up with Opposition parties. Violent incidents were reported from Mahad (Raigad), Gevrai (Beed), Muktai Nagar (Jalgaon), Bhor (Pune), Mhaswad (Satara), Jat (Sangli), Hingoli, Buldhana, Dahanu (Thane) and Shahada (Nandurbar). In Mahad, supporters of Vikas Gogawale, son of Shiv Sena minister Bharat Gogawale and NCPs Sushant Jabre clashed in the Nave Nagar area, where one person was seen brandishing a firearm. Stone pelting erupted in Gevrai, with vehicles vandalised near a BJP leaders residence, prompting police to resort to lathi-charge. Two bogus voters were detained in Buldhana. A major controversy surfaced in Hingoli after a video showed Shiv Sena MLA Santosh Bangar entering a polling booth, looking into the voting compartment as a woman cast her ballot and speaking to her. A case has been registered and officials have launched a probe. BJP workers and police also faced off in Jat, Sangli. Technical issues added to voters frustration, with at least four EVMs failing in Nandurbar and similar complaints emerging from Amaravati, Badlapur, Nanded, Jalgaon, Yavatmal, Bhokardan and Akluj. In Chandrapurs Gadchandur, a voter smashed an EVM. In Yeola, Nashik district, locals caught a worker of the Shinde-led Shiv Sena allegedly distributing money and handed him over to the police. Authorities said they were investigating multiple incidents even as polling continued amid heavy security. (With inputs from PTI)
