India Political Highlights | Kejriwal security scare in Delhi; CM Atishi says BJP worker attacked AAP chiefThe new Maha Yuti government in Maharashtra is set to take oath on December 5 in the presence of PM Modi even as the parties stay tight-lipped about the Chief Ministerial post. While there was no announcement yet on who would be the chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis is the frontrunner for the top post. Shinde, who seems to be not happy with the way the new government was shaping up, has taken ill and is resting at his home village. Meanwhile, in a security scare, a man was detained for allegedly splashing some liquid on AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal during his 'padyatra' in south Delhi's Malviya Nagar on Saturday. AAP accused BJP of orchestrating an 'attack' on its leader. Thank you for staying with us to track all the political updates. This blog is closed.

All this is done by ECI: NCP-SCP leader Jitendra Awhad on EVM issue
"We wanted to have a recounting of the machines that were there on the table along with the data. Now, they are saying that the data has been wiped out and they will show new data, and re-count and show it. Then, no mistake will be seen in it, is it a joke? The data on which we have doubts has been wiped out, so are we blind? All this is done by ECI...After losing the Lok Sabha elections, votes were increased. 46 lakh votes in 4-5 months, only in Maharashtra..." NCP-SCP leader Jitendra Awhad told ANI.

BJP dares Congress leaders to resign on EVM issue
The BJP on Saturday hit back at the Congress for questioning the electoral process, including EVM's integrity, saying its chief ministers and other elected representatives like Rahul Gandhi should first resign and announce that they will contest only after ballot papers are brought back.
Such a stand will underscore their trust in the issues being raised by them, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told reporters, adding that their allegations will otherwise be nothing but empty words.
The Congress should move the courts over the issue too, he said, while stressing that the Supreme Court has quite a few times endorsed the transparency of the electoral process and the integrity of Electoral Voting Machines.
Congress chief ministers, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra should resign as they were elected through the same electoral process the opposition party is questioning, Bhatia said.
It was ironic that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge questioned EVMs on a day Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took oath as a Lok Sabha MP, he said.
The Congress will soon be confined to the pages of history books, he said. (PTI)
