Bihar already’Fadnavis shuts down Rahul’s ‘match-fixing’ claims: ‘Proves he has accepted defeat in Bihar already’

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis shut down Rahul Gandhi’s claims of ‘match-fixing’ in the November 2024 Maharashtra elections, saying that the Congress leader’s remarks mean that he has accepted his defeat in the forthcoming elections in Bihar. Fadnavis also stated that Rahul’s party will win polls only when he takes the ground and ‘understands facts’.

Gandhi made a blistering attack on the BJP-led NDA over the 2024 Maharashtra assembly election results of ‘match-fixing’ to register a landslide victory in the state. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, including the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) registered a thumping win in the state by winning 235 of the 288 seats. The saffron party marked its best performance in the state polls as it won 132 seats alone.
