Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing the Union government of capturing the country's electoral machinery and undermining democratic institutions, news agency IANS reported.

Demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, Sapkal said the ongoing agitation against institutional corruption would continue until the key perpetrators within the ruling setup step down.
