Uddhav Thackeray Alleges Irregularities in Maharashtra Civic Polls, Demands Election Commissioner Suspension

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray alleged irregularities in the ongoing Maharashtra civic polls across 29 municipal corporations, including Mumbai, calling it a 'murder' of democracy. He accused the State Election Commission of collusion with the government, demanded the suspension of State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare, and raised concerns about voter identity issues and the use of marker pens instead of indelible ink. The ruling alliance has been accused of misusing authority, while the BMC has initiated probes into complaints.
