Mumbai: Before the local body and BMC elections in Mumbai Maharashtra and in the context of vote theft, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray once again took a dig at the Election Commission while addressing a press conference and said that the Election Commission has tried to show that every house has 40 to 50 voters registered, therefore, it is necessary to verify the Election Commission list and to check the Election Commission list, centers will now be set up in Shiv Sena branches for correcting the Election Commission list. Uddhav Thackeray said that the youth who have completed the age of 18 should get their names registered with the Election Commission. He said that an investigation should be conducted in every house to see if anyone’s name is listed in the Election Commission list without permission. Uddhav Thackeray called the Election Commission list itself suspect and said that there has been rigging and irregularities in the voter list, therefore the opposition is protesting against the issue of vote theft. Uddhav Thackeray made Vande Mataram mandatory. Criticizing the BJP for declaring it as a state, he said that people are being misled to divert their minds from the issues and such issues are being brought up. These people are actually self-proclaimed patriots and we need to be careful with them. He said that people should remain vigilant and try to correct the errors in the voter list.
