‘Will introduce Bill in Parliament to stop horse-trading’: Supriya Sule after Maharashtra MLC poll row | Pune News
Supriya Sule, Devendra Fadnavis, and other political figures in Maharashtra are engaged in a heated debate following the unopposed victories of the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the June 18 Legislative Council elections. Sule, representing the NCP-SP, proposed a bill to increase transparency in elections and called for either discontinuing these elections or open voting. Fadnavis responded that he believes people can be won over with love rather than money but would support reforms to the election process. The withdrawal of several MVA candidates from the Pune seat due to allegations of horse-trading has sparked further controversy, with Sule accusing the ruling parties of using their power for manipulation and calling for a democratic electoral system. She plans to attend the INDIA bloc meeting on June 8th.
