I apologize honestly for tweets related to Maharashtra elections. There was an error compared to the Lok Sabha and Assembly data of 2024. Our team incorrectly read the data. The tweet has been removed. I had no intention of spreading wrong information.
In fact, in the post of August 17, Sanjay Kumar claimed that the number of voters in two seats in Maharashtra has decreased in the assembly elections as compared to the Lok Sabha elections.
A tweet is on August 17, which was deleted. The second is on August 19, in which apologizes were sought.
Claimed to reduce voters in two seats
Maharashtra assembly number 59 Ramtek had four lakh 66 thousand 203 voters in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, while the number of MLAs in the 2024 assembly elections was two lakh 86 thousand 931.
In the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections, one lakh 79 thousand 272, ie 38.45 percent votes, was reduced to this seat. Similarly, he gave the figure of Delali assembly seat.
According to him, there were four lakh 56 thousand 72 votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Assembly Number 126 Devalali, while the number of voters in the assembly elections was to two lakh 88 thousand 141.

BJP said- Rahul Gandhi trusts them
In this case, Amit Malviya, head of BJP’s IT cell, said that this is the same institution that Rahul Gandhi trusts.
Malaviya has written-In the eagerness to promote the false neior of the Congress on Maharashtra, CSDS released data without verification. This analysis is clearly partiality.
The BJP has refused to consider it an honest error. Malaviya wrote on X, ‘Forgiveness has come and Sanjay Kumar is outside. When did this disciple of Yogendra Yadav do something right for the last time?
Before every election, the BJP is losing in all their predictions and when the claim is reversed, they come to the TV to explain how the BJP won. This is convenient, they would think that TV audiences are fools. ‘
