Bhatkhalkar Slams Raj Thackeray's 'Garjana March' and Election Commission

Addressing the controversy over Raj Thackeray’s planned ‘Garjana March’ against the Election Commission, Bhatkhalkar labelled the protest a “drama” and a “Rudali front”. He argued that the people of Maharashtra and the nation have already boycotted the Mahavikas Aghadi coalition, and that the opposition’s focus on the Election Commission is a tactic to deflect from electoral defeats. He contrasted reactions to electronic voting machine (EVM) performance in Tamil Nadu’s victory with the silence in Kerala when Congress won, asserting that the commission is praised only when outcomes suit certain parties.
