Sanjay Raut alleges manipulation in vote counting, demands re-election in Maharashtra

Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has alleged that there has been some manipulation in the vote counting process which is underway in Maharashtra.

Speaking to reporters, Sanjay Raut said, “They have done some 'gadbad', they have stolen some of our seats... This cannot be the public's decision, even the public does not agree with these results. Once the results are out, we will talk more. In every election seat, money-counting machines were installed. Is it possible that Shinde gets 60 seats, Ajit Pawar gets 40 seats and BJP gets 125 seats? The people of this state are not dishonest. We have their faith on the people of Maharashtra.”
