BJP-led Mahayuti government was not legitimately elected: Congress

The opposition Congress party has accused the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra of not being "legitimately elected," citing alleged discrepancies in the voters` list during the November 2024 assembly elections,
The article from MSN discusses the Congress party's claim that the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra was not legitimately elected. Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticized the government, stating that it was formed through political manipulation rather than a democratic mandate. He highlighted that the government came into power after a series of political defections and splits within parties, notably the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Wadettiwar accused the BJP of orchestrating these splits to gain power, undermining the will of the people expressed in the 2019 elections. He also mentioned that the Supreme Court had previously criticized the manner in which the government was formed, suggesting that the political maneuvers were not in line with democratic principles.
