BMC Election 2026: ‘BJP playing manipulative politics in Maharashtra,’ says state Congress chief

As the clock ticks down to the BMC Election 2026, tensions are running high in Maharashtra. State Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Chief Minister of engaging in manipulative politics. Sapkal claims that the BJP's tactics are designed to sway voters at the last moment, casting a shadow over the democratic process. Sapkal's allegations come amidst a fiercely contested election where every vote counts. The Congress leader argues that the BJP's strategies aim to undermine the opposition and influence the electorate using questionable means. Although he did not provide specific examples, Sapkal's comments reflect growing concerns among opposition parties about the integrity of the electoral process. BJP leaders have dismissed these accusations as baseless, insisting that their campaign adheres strictly to democratic principles. The party maintains that it is confident about its prospects in the BMC election. As voters prepare to head to the polls, all eyes are on Maharashtra, where the outcome could significantly impact the state's political landscape.
