MNS Alleges 4 Lakh-Name Surge, Major Errors in Thane Voter Rolls Ahead of Civic Polls

The party plans a march to TMC to seek explanations after officials stayed silent.

Overview

  • MNS leader Avinash Jadhav says Thane's voter count rose to 16.49 lakh, an increase of nearly 400,000 across 33 wards.
  • The party points to mismatches between approved ward maps and the lists, with entire buildings shown outside boundaries and entries lacking names or photographs.
  • MNS estimates 7,000–8,000 suspect entries per ward and argues the compressed schedule leaves little time for meaningful scrutiny.
  • A delegation will seek answers from Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao on Monday, and neither TMC nor the Election Commission has issued a public response.
  • Parallel allegations surfaced elsewhere as NCP flagged list errors in Pimpri-Chinchwad while PCMC appointed eight ward-wise officials to handle objections, and Aaditya Thackeray questioned publication dates for Mumbai's draft rolls.
