Mumbai, 11th June. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut on Saturday cleared his viewpoint on the Election Commission’s move on the rejection of vote cast by Shiv Sena MLA Suhas Kande and charged that the EC favoured BJP.
“The Election Commission made our one vote invalid. We objected to two votes but no action was taken on that. The Election Commission favoured them (BJP),” Raut told the reporters.
Meanwhile, Congress’ Imran Pratapgarhi declared his win and also confirmed the tally for the remaining candidates.
“I have won as well as Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut and NCP’s Praful Patel. I thank the MLAs. We are sad that the fourth candidate of (Maha Vikas Aghadi) Sanjay Pawar could not win,” said Imran Pratapgarhi.
The counting of votes came to a small pause after the EC received complaints and counter complaints in Maharashtra and Haryana.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday alleged a violation of the poll code by three MLAs of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi in the Rajya Sabha polls in Maharashtra and requested the Returning Officer to hold their votes invalid.
The Bharatiya Janata Party demanded that the votes of NCP leader Jitendra Awhad, Congress leader Yashomati Thakur and Shiv Sena’s Suhas Kande be declared invalid.
Out of 6 seats in Maharashtra, Bharatiya Janata Party won 3 seats. Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP won one seat each. Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Pawar lost the poll.
