Home Minister Amit Shah called over the phone Devendra Fadnavis to congratulate him as the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra is going towards a landslide victory in the Assembly elections. Fadnavis, who is being touted as the ‘Comeback Man’, is once again emerging as the biggest leader and front runner for Chief Minister’s post in Maharashtra.
As per the current counting trends, BJP is leading at over 126 seats, Eknath’s Shiv Sena on 56 and Ajit Pawar’s NCP on 38. There are a total of 288 Assembly seats in Maharashtra. Whereas, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which is witnessing one of its worst performance, is leading on nearly 70 seats. The Congress is leading on 19, Uddhav’s Sena on 21 AND Sharad Pawar’s NCP on 16.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has alleged that there has been some manipulation in the vote counting process which is underway in Maharashtra. Sanjay Raut said, “They have done some ‘gadbad’, they have stolen some of our seats. This cannot be the public’s decision, even the public does not agree with these results. Once the results are out, we will talk more. In every election seat, money-counting machines were installed. Is it possible that Shinde gets 60 seats, Ajit Pawar gets 40 seats and BJP gets 125 seats? The people of this state are not dishonest. We have their faith on the people of Maharashtra.”
