Supriya Sule Alleges Use of Spy-Camera Pens in Maharashtra MLC Elections; Fadnavis Responds
NCP leader Supriya Sule alleged that the BJP used spy-camera pens to record voters during Maharashtra's MLC elections in Pune Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies, promising money in exchange for videos. She called for an Election Commission probe, citing concerns over voter secrecy and election fairness. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis denied knowledge of such devices, stating he would comment only after seeing them. The elections involve five seats contested by major alliances including BJP-led Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi.
