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.

View: Why larger and more populous states gradually losing their fiscal strength
A 2013-14 to 2022-23 CAG analysis of state finances paints a sobering picture. 10 most populous states - UP, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, MP, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh - account for about 3/4th of India's population. Yet, in 2022-23, their combined share in the total revenue receipts of all states stood at 68.9%, down from 74.4% a decade earlier. This 6-point decline signals a weakening of fiscal capacity where it should have been strongest.

Maharashtra CM Fadnavis says BJP will contest 2029 state polls with Mahayuti, not alone
MUMBAI: Despite Union Home Minister Amit Shahs plan for the BJP to go solo in the 2029 state elections, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday expressed a different view, stating that the BJP still needs its allies in Maharashtra and that the 2029 state polls will be contested jointly with the Mahayuti partners. Fadnavis also clarified that there is no dispute between him and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, although differences of opinion do existjust as they do in any healthy family. Speaking for the first time about the growing gulf between BJP and Shinde, Fadnavis reiterated that there is no conflict between them. He compared their relationship to that of two brothers in a family who may hold differing views on certain matters. Two brothers always fight and put their strong opinion, same way, we do the same, so that does not mean there is a dispute between me Shinde and. We do fail to get a consensus over some issues. If we had one opinion, then we would not have remained in two different political parties. We would have been at one party only. More broadly, we are together, and we will remain together,Fadnavis said. He further stated that while the BJP will continue with its expansion plans, the 2029 Lok Sabha and state elections will still be fought as an alliance. BJP is indeed a major and strong party; we do need allies in Maharashtra, therefore, the 2029 polls will be fought together only. BJP as a party will continue to grow in the state; that does not mean that we will leave the allies. It is not like that when we are strong, we should leave the allies. We will not let this happen, he added. Earlier, Union Minister Amit Shah had remarked that the BJP no longer needs crutches in Maharashtra and intends to contest alone in 2029. Commenting on the varied political combinations seen during the local body elections, Fadnavis acknowledged that different parties had come together despite lacking ideological alignment or power-sharing arrangements. However, he said that such alliances in grassroots polls are driven by local calculations and the interests of party workers. Fadnavis clarification comes as a relief to DCM Eknath Shinde, especially as State BJP president Ravindra Chavan continues to target him and suggests that the alliance may be reconsidered once the local body elections conclude. Chavan had earlier indicated that the BJP would break the alliance for the local polls and even took a dig at Shinde, remarking that the number two positionthe DCM postholds little importance compared to the number one post of Chief Minister.

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)
