Rahul Gandhi Dismissing Mandate of People as They Rejected Him: Fadnavis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis sharply criticized Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on June 8, 2025, for repudiating the 2024 state assembly election mandate.
Fadnavis linked Gandhi's attack on the BJP-led Mahayuti's election victory to his refusal to accept defeat, alleging Gandhi followed a predictable script of blaming rigging and fabricating conspiracies.
The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance won 235 of 288 seats in the November 2024 Maharashtra polls, with BJP securing 132 seats, marking its best performance in the state.
Gandhi accused the BJP of rigging democracy via match-fixing and inflated voter turnout, claims dismissed by Fadnavis who noted these allegations showed Gandhi's acceptance of defeat and urged him to introspect.
Fadnavis’ remarks reflect ongoing political tensions over electoral legitimacy and suggest Gandhi is preparing excuses for future failures, particularly anticipating Bihar assembly polls after Maharashtra results.
