Bollywood actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, on Friday, claimed that she received a phone call offering money in exchange for giving her vote to Maha Vikas Aghadi in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly Elections. Sharing the ordeal with netizens, she questioned the legality of the matter.
Suchitra claimed that she was offered Rs 3000 to vote for MVA. "Got a phone call with a recorded voice offering 3k to vote for #MahaVikasAghadi. Is this even legal (sic)," she wrote.
As she shared the post, netizens suggested that she report the issue to the Election Commission. "Could be scam as well, seeking account details," an X user commented, while another joked, "Cash or digital?"
Maharashtra is set to go for polling on November 20 across 288 assembly seats. The counting of votes will take place on November 23. The Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance includes the Congress Party, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar), and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray).
The MVA will lock horns with the parties in the Mahayuti alliance: BJP, NCP and Shiv Sena.
