Maharashtra Minister Chandrakant Patil has yet again created controversy by asking BJP party workers to visit the voters’ household and offer them gifts in return of votes in the local body elections. Speaking at the party workers meeting in Sangli, he added that the same practice could be implemented in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “In the next four months, BJP workers should visit the voters’ household at least 3-4 times. We should get their contact number and develop a relationship with them,” Patil instructed his party workers. Malik said that while on one hand, Devendra Fadnavis emphasized on compulsory voting, the BJP minister has been trying to win votes by offering gifts.
