Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Sunday, October 20, countered the allegations of tampering with the voters' list in the state with the help of the Election Commisison and dismissed the the accusations as laughable, reported news agency ANI.

"It is very laughable. Does it ever happen in the Election Commission? Can anyone interfere [in the workings of the Election Commission]? On the contrary, during the Lok Sabha polls, 1.65 lakh votes were missing from Nagpur in the electoral rolls that were present in the 2019 general elections," Bawankule told ANI.
