NCP accused of bribery attempt to poach two MLAs by Congress ahead of Maharashtra Assembly elections.
The Congress party has accused the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) of trying to bribe two MLAs with large sums of money to join their faction ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Congress's Maharashtra in-charge, Ramesh Chennithala, questioned the silence of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on the matter, noting it may violate anti-defection laws. Election counting is scheduled for November 23, as both alliances ramp up preparations.
