‘Will introduce a Bill in Parliament to stop horse-trading’: Supriya Sule after Maharashtra MLC poll row | Pune News
Following the withdrawal of several candidates from the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections, Supriya Sule and Devendra Fadnavis engaged in a heated exchange. Sule proposed a bill to increase transparency in elections, advocating for either discontinuing these elections or open voting. Fadnavis expressed support for reform but believed that love could win over voters rather than money. The ruling Mahayuti alliance won unopposed victories in six seats, with Vikram Kakade elected unopposed in Pune after the NCP withdrew due to allegations of horse-trading. Sule criticized the ruling parties' reliance on financial power and vowed to fight them in future elections. The Congress accused the NCP (SP) of betrayal for withdrawing from the Pune seat.
