He demanded a repoll at 12 sensitive booths. Deshmukh, who is contesting against Maharashtra minister Dhananjay Munde of the NCP, alleged that bogus voting occurred at 122 sensitive booths, with only one person voting at each booth, while a few goons, allegedly linked to the rival candidate and supported by the police, vandalized voting machines.

He argued that the democratic process was not followed during voting in Parli and called for a fresh election at the 122 sensitive booths.

Deshmukh further stated that in terms of "bullying and terror," Parli has surpassed even Bihar.
