Aaditya Thackeray Criticizes Election Commission Over Voter Roll Irregularities and Train Cancellations
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray criticized the Election Commission of India and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls, including missing and bogus voters in Maharashtra. He demanded Kumar's resignation and warned of intensifying protests. Ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's planned protest in Delhi, several trains and metro services were canceled, which Thackeray described as creating an "emergency-like" atmosphere. He emphasized that his party's opposition targets the Election Commission, not the BJP or Congress.
