Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal today said the MLC election results are a warning sign for the ruling coalition in the state after the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) won three of the five seats.
BJP leaders have said that had the Shiv Sena supported the BJP and the NCP instead of chasing a single seat in Pune, the Mahayuti could have won all five seats. Attacking the Shiv Sena (UBT) and its MP Sanjay Raut, Rane said the Opposition leader should tell the public how many of the three candidates fielded by the Shiv Sena (UBT) had won and how many votes they received. “The results are a matter of serious concern for the Mahayuti government and our own party. The BJP’s central leadership has taken note of the results and will seek an explanation from state president Ravindra Chavan to investigate whether the loss was driven by Mahayuti’s disputes or internal party factionalism. In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Shiv Sena leader Abdul Sattar campaigned against the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), which further harmed the ruling bloc. “The Congress ought to be so grateful that they should drink the water used to wash Karale Guruji’s feet. Across the entire country, the Congress managed to win only one seat. Rahul Gandhi was creating a lot of hype, but now his true standing has been exposed. “In this election, the UBT hid behind the Congress.
