Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has strongly warned against any attempts to create fear during the Municipal Elections, vowing strict police action. The warning follows a life-threatening attack on a BJP candidate in Nagpur, prompting Fadnavis to address the issue. He criticized the selective presence of certain groups during polling, questioning their absence in sensitive areas.
Fadnavis emphasized that any efforts to intimidate voters would be met with severe consequences, stating that the opposition lacks the capacity to spread terror. He assured that such tactics would not be tolerated, with the police ready to take action. The Chief Minister accused the opposition of trying to lower voter turnout under the guise of identifying duplicate voters, stressing that this responsibility lies with the Election Commission and polling agents.
The recent attack on the BJP candidate in Nagpur led Fadnavis to promise that those responsible would face consequences. He affirmed that no leniency would be shown towards anyone trying to rule through fear. As tensions rise between political factions in Maharashtra during the elections, security measures have been heightened in sensitive areas.
