The HinduPublished : Dec 04, 2024 12:06 IST - 7 MINS READ Markadwadi, a little village in Malshiras tehsil, Solapur district, Maharashtra, has made its mark on the national political map. Villagers, although not all, while rejecting the outcome of the November 23 Assembly election, decided to hold a “repoll” with ballot paper on December 3. Those who had raised doubts about the outcome of Maharashtra election, where Maha Vikas Aghadi lost to the BJP-led Mahayuti, praised the “courage” of Markadwadi villagers. But in the Assembly election, in Markadwadi, where Patil and Jankar were still in the pact, and Jankar was a candidate, he received only 843 votes; Satpute of the BJP received 1,003. The 76 lakh votes post 5 pm is possible.” Shiv Sena MLA Varun Sardesai held a press conference on December 2, where he raised doubts about the gap between postal ballot and EVM voting.
