After the Maharashtra elections in 2024, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut confidently stated that the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is expected to win between 160 to 165 seats out of the total 288, ensuring a stable government in the state. Raut mentioned that the MVA leaders will convene on Thursday to discuss the upcoming vote count scheduled for Saturday.
The MVA coalition, consisting of Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP), is optimistic about their chances in the elections. On the other hand, the ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena led by CM Eknath Shinde, and NCP led by Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, is striving to retain power. The political landscape in Maharashtra is gearing up for an interesting outcome as both alliances put forward their claims for victory.
Despite some exit polls predicting a win for the BJP-led alliance, Sanjay Raut remains steadfast in his belief that the MVA will emerge victorious with a comfortable majority. He highlighted the participation of smaller parties like the PWP, Samajwadi Party, and Left parties in the coalition, emphasizing their collective strength in crossing the majority mark.
The voter turnout in the Maharashtra elections was estimated to be around 65%, indicating a significant level of participation among the electorate. As the state awaits the final results, the MVA coalition remains confident in their ability to secure a stable government and continue the momentum from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Amidst the uncertainty portrayed by exit polls, Maharashtra AICC in-charge Ramesh Chennithala dismissed the predictions and reaffirmed the MVA’s prospects of securing a comfortable majority. Chennithala emphasized that the ground reality reflects the MVA coalition’s strength and potential to form the government in Maharashtra.
As the political landscape in Maharashtra unfolds, the upcoming days will be crucial in determining the final outcome of the elections. The confidence and determination exhibited by the MVA leaders signal a fierce competition for power in the state, setting the stage for a post-election scenario that will shape Maharashtra’s political trajectory in the years to come.
