"Magicians Active in Polls" says Bonde amid voter list row

Amravati, Aug 11 (UNI) BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Anil Bonde criticised NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut over their recent election-related statements, suggesting "magicians and technicians" become active during polls.
Bonde termed as "ridiculous but true" Pawar's claim about individuals promising to arrange constituencies through "mantras" and manipulate voting machines.
"Such fraudsters likely approached both Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray," Bonde stated, continuing that veteran leaders should immediately report such offers to police rather than disclose them months later.
