While addressing a public gathering in Maharashtra's Buldhana, Sanjay Gaikwad said, "The voters here were sold for 2-5 thousand rupees, alcohol, and meat. Even a prostitute is better than that". While boasting about his development efforts in the constituency, Gaikwad went on to say, “If I had lost the election, would the projects have been completed? I challenge you; not a single stone would have been laid. Today, I’ve done work worth `24 crores for Jaipur village alone. The development statistics I am citing will leave you stunned.”
The video of his speech has since gone viral, sparking outrage and condemnation.
A user wrote, "People need to realize that they are not just electing politicians, they are electing goons who are playing with the future of the country."
