Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, raised an issue in Parliament about the Maharashtra elections. He claimed that between the Lok Sabha election, which the INDIA Alliance won, and the state Vidhan Sabha election, the voting population of Himachal Pradesh was added to the voter rolls of Maharashtra. According to him, this meant that the entire population of Himachal Pradesh was included as voters in Maharashtra. He pointed out that nearly 70 lakh new voters appeared on Maharashtra`s voter list between these two elections. Rahul Gandhi highlighted this as a matter of concern and wanted to bring it to the attention of the House.
