Leaders from major Maharashtra opposition parties jointly petitioned the Election Commission demanding greater transparency in the upcoming local body elections. They raised concerns about voter list management, VVPAT machine usage, and repeated election delays since 2022. The unified front, including Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, and other prominent leaders, called for electoral reforms to restore public trust in the democratic process ahead of polls mandated by the Supreme Court to be completed by January 2026.
