Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis reacted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's op-ed claiming that 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections were "rigged". "Ta-umr Rahul aap yahi galti karte rahe, dhool chehre pe thi aur aap aina saaf karte rahe (Throughout your life, you have always made the same mistake; the dust was on your face, but you kept cleaning the mirror)," Fadnavis said.
