Rahul's claims on poll rigging baseless: Eknath Shinde

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Thursday (August 7, 2025) dubbed as "baseless" the claims of "huge criminal electoral fraud" made by Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress has the habit of levelling allegations after losing elections.

In an exclusive video interview with PTI, Mr. Shinde said the MahaYuti of BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP registered a landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections purely on basis of public welfare schemes such as 'Ladki Bahin' and pro-farmers initiatives.
