Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar dismissed Aaditya Thackeray’s EVM legitimacy concerns, urging the opposition to approach the Election Commission or the courts if they feel aggrieved. Thackeray had questioned the results after Shiv Sena (UBT) MLAs decided not to take the oath, citing a lack of public celebration. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance secured a decisive victory in the recent elections.
