ECI must clarify how voter turnout rose by over 7 per cent after polling ended: Nana Patole

Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole questioned the 7.83% rise in voter turnout after polls closed, demanding an explanation from the Election Commission of India (ECI). He alleged discrepancies in the figures, calling it a "theft of people's vote" and threatening legal action. The MVA's defeat prompted concerns about the ECI's process, with Patole emphasizing the need to protect democracy.
