Opposition parties Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress have accused Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar of violating the model code of conduct during the nomination process for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls. They allege interference, pressure on officials to reject forms, and tampering with CCTV footage. The Speaker, a BJP MLA, has dismissed the charges as baseless and politically motivated. The State Election Commission has sought a report from the civic chief regarding claims of nomination forms being refused.
