He claimed there were 9.6 million bogus voters on the rolls, and emphasised that the EC had to first set the rolls right even if it took a year.
Thackeray was speaking to booth-level agents and officebearers of his party at NESCO Ground, Goregaon, where he held a meeting on Sunday afternoon as part of the pre-election preparations. “The voters list was frozen on July land yet 9.6 million new voters have been registered in the state since the assembly poll results,” he said. “Around 800,000 to 800,500 voters have been added in cities such as Mumbai, Thane, Pune and Nashik.”
