Speaking with the FPJ, Mahadik said, "I had reached the RO's office at 2 pm and also paid the deposit for nomination Rs 2500. However, until 5 pm my nomination form was not accepted. There were 11 more candidates including one from RPI, whose nomination papers were not accepted saying the official time ended."
"I feel there was some power behind who was guiding the officers to not accept the nominations. Why didn't the police allow us to enter the office, question the officers? We entered into a brawl only after police pushed us Mahadik said.
