In a dramatic moment during the Nagpur winter session of the Maharashtra legislature, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis publicly rebuked his own party MLA Abhimanyu Pawar, warning him not to drag the flagship Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana into every unrelated discussion — or face consequences. Fadnavis said that the scheme would continue providing benefits to women, but insisted it should not be invoked arbitrarily in assembly debates. The exchange exposed rising tension among ruling ranks and underscored the sensitivity surrounding scheme-related discourse.

Elections held for local self-government bodies in Gondia and Sangli have sparked controversy: in Gondia there are serious allegations that the seal on an EVM was broken after voting, while in Sangli, candidates claim that voting numbers mysteriously surged overnight. Protests erupted outside the strongroom in both places — raising suspicions about the fairness and transparency of the election process.

In State Election Commission of Maharashtra’s updated order issued on 27 November 2025, election-campaign restrictions have been strictly imposed across Gondia district. From 10 pm on 1 December, all public gatherings, rallies and sound amplifiers are banned — and even informal group movements or processions of more than five people are prohibited. Violators will face legal action under the relevant sections of the law. Traditional ceremonies such as funerals, weddings or religious processions remain exempt under this directive.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured that Gondia will face no shortage of funds for development, promising to transform the city into a waste-free and corruption-free urban model. Emphasizing transparency and upgraded civic facilities, he directed authorities to strengthen waste management, improve basic infrastructure, and ensure efficient governance.

Where are the Congress leaders in Vidarbha? In a recent meeting in Bhandara, revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule sharply questioned the presence and unity of Indian National Congress (Congress) leaders in the region, asserting that “they don’t even look at each other.” Bawankule asserted that despite the Congress claiming strength in Vidarbha, its leaders seem disconnected — lacking coordination, solidarity, and visibility at the grassroots level. The criticism came amid a string of local-level rallies across Bhandara, Pavni, Sakoli and Tumsar. He warned that internal divisions are driving many Congress workers away. The BJP, according to him, is seeking votes based on unity and clear organization — something he says Congress has lost.

In the wake of the upcoming local body elections, authorities have imposed strict time limits on loudspeaker use.

Authorities say these measures aim to curb noise pollution and maintain public order during the election period.
