Pune : NpNews24 Online<\/a>\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong> Pune Kasba Peth Bypoll Election | The campaigning for the Kasba Peth constituency bypoll ended at 5 pm on Friday. Against the background of bypoll, the BJP and MVA campaigned vigorously and levelled many allegations against each other. MVA candidate Ravindra Dhangekar alleged that the BJP had distributed money to voters under police protection and he is on a fast to protest against BJP. Deputy CM Fadnavis said that Dhangekar is doing a political stunt by fasting. (Pune Kasba Peth Bypoll Election)<\/p>\n

Reacting to Dhangekar\u2019s allegations, Fadnavis said, \u201cSince campaigning cannot be done after the deadline, Dhangekar is indulging in campaigning by doing such a stunt. When the ground beneath one\u2019s feet starts shaking, then people resort to such gimmicks and this is a violation of the code of conduct of the Election Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the culture of Congress and NCP to distribute money to voters. It is not BJP\u2019s culture. Our voters don\u2019t take money and vote. Dhangekar has insulted the voters. Dhangekar\u2019s fast is not against BJP but against the voters because he is treating voters like a saleable commodity. This is wrong and God should bestow wisdom to him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BJP city unit Chief Jagdish Mulik has criticised Dhangekar and refuted the allegations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mulik said, \u201cMVA candidate Dhangekar, who is known to change parties frequently, is accusing voters in Kasba Peth of accepting money. This is an insult of all voters in Kasba Peth and they will not tolerate it. Dhangekar is trying to gain sympathy by levelling allegations against the BJP\u2019s candidate. He is doing this because he knows that he would lose the election. We would not tolerate such allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the campaign ended at 5 pm on Friday, Dhangekar is levelling false allegations and resorting to stunts and is campaigning indirectly. He is going to sit on a fast. If he does this, then BJP will lodge a complaint with the Election Commission and demand that his candidature should be cancelled. Activists of BJP are going to perform aarti at Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati and Punyeshwar Temple and urge the Lord to bestow wisdom to Dhangekar,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
