The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and other Opposition parties on Wednesday (October 15, 2025) sought the postponement of Maharashtra local body elections till the alleged ‘large-scale anomalies in the voters’ list’ were removed. The Opposition parties held two meetings with the officials of the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the State Election Commission (SEC) over a period of two days, before making this demand. This was also the first time when Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray was seen sharing stage with the MVA leaders.
The Opposition parties claimed that several constituencies in Maharashtra had duplicate voters, faulty EPIC numbers, several people using the same photo identity cards or an unreasonably large number of voters staying at the same address.
