NCP chief Sharad Pawar alleges a plot to secure 160 seats for the opposition in Maharashtra's 2024 election.

Sharad Pawar, NCP chief, claimed two individuals offered to guarantee the opposition 160 seats in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections before they occurred, an offer he shared with Rahul Gandhi, who dismissed it. Pawar supports Gandhi's allegations of electoral fraud involving the BJP and Election Commission, calling for a thorough investigation. The BJP won 132 seats in the elections, with allies Shiv Sena and NCP adding 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
