Maharashtra turned saffron on Saturday (November 23) as voters handed the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance a decisive victory over the struggling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
As the assembly election results rolled in, the BJP was on track to secure 125 of the 149 seats it contested in Maharashtra, cementing its dominance in the state.
The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, was projected to claim 219 of the 288 seats, leaving the Congress-Shiv Sena (UBT)-NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) alliance with just 51 seats.
The Maharashtra verdict — which gives primacy to the BJP within the Mahayuti alliance and opens up the possibility of a shift in power with Devendra Fadnavis as chief minister again – was the stuff of sober introspection too for the Congress and Maratha strongman Sharad Pawar.
The BJP was ahead in 125 seats, close to the halfway mark of 144 on its own, while the Shiv Sena had leads in 56 and the NCP in 35. In contrast, the Congress was ahead in just 21, the Shiv Sena(UBT) in 17 and the NCP(SP) in 13.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Shinde and his deputies Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar were leading in their respective assembly constituencies. Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole was leading narrowly from Sakoli constituency and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and sitting MLA Aaditya Thackeray was leading in Worli assembly seat.
“I thank everybody for this victory. We have such a big victory because of the work Mahayuti did. Very grateful,” Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde told reporters while his alliance colleagues attributed the stunning win to welfare schemes such as the Laadli Behna scheme.
