Amid counting of votes for Maharashtra elections 2024, Shiv Sena candidate from Andheri East Murji Patel on Saturday expressed confidence that he would win Andheri East with a margin of more than 20,000 votes, reported ANI. Patel said, "I had the darshan of Ganpati bappa just now. I prayed to Him for Mahayuti Government in Maharashtra once again. I prayed to him for his blessings...I will win Andheri East with a margin of more than 20,000 votes. In last 10 years, the people of Andheri have been hassled. No work was done," reported ANI. The Andheri East Assembly constituency went to polls on November 20. He faces tough contest from Rutuja Ramesh Latke from Shiv Sena (UBT). In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections, Ramesh Latke won in this seat, reported ANI. Counting began at 8 am on Saturday for the 2024 Jharkhand and Maharashtra Assembly Elections, along with bypoll results from 15 states. The counting, which will decide the fate of the 288 seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand, is expected to reveal trends in the first few hours. In Maharashtra, the polling for the Legislative Assembly was held on Wednesday, with a turnout of over 66 percent, surpassing the 61 percent recorded in the 2019 elections. The Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, is in a tough contest with the MVA alliance consisting of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP). Both alliances view the increased voter turnout as a sign of support for their respective campaigns. State Chief Electoral Officer S Chockalingam praised efforts to increase voter participation, especially in Mumbai. "The Election Commission of India gave significant focus, attention, and time to Maharashtra this time. Each strategy was conceptualised and implemented with high precision. This resulted in a significant addition to the voter list between the Parliament election and the current election. Efforts were made to ease voting, especially in places like Mumbai, where there were challenges during the Parliament elections. This time, everyone appreciated the arrangements," he said. He also thanked nearly 6 lakh officials who ensured smooth voting, reported ANI. The bypolls were held in 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats across 15 states, with notable contests in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad, Kerala, where Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her electoral debut.

23 November,2024 02:03 PM IST | Palghar | mid-day online correspondentAs the Mahayuti alliance approaches a commanding victory in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, incumbent Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has emphasised that the decision regarding the Chief Ministerial candidate will be a collective one, made by all the parties in the alliance once the final results are declared on Saturday. Shinde, who is leading from his constituency, thanked party workers and expressed gratitude to the voters. "Let the final results come in... Once the results are out, just as we fought the elections together, all three parties will sit together and take a decision on who will be the CM," he said. Speaking about the alliance's expected victory, he added, "I thank the voters of Maharashtra. This is a landslide victory. I had said earlier that Mahayuti would secure a massive win. I am thankful to all sections of society and the workers of the Mahayuti parties." At his residence in Thane, celebrations erupted as Shiv Sena workers cheered and bouquets arrived in celebration. Shinde’s son, Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, joined party members in celebrating their anticipated success. "As we had expected, we have secured impressive numbers. I thank all the voters who supported Mahayuti and gave us this landslide victory," said Shrikant Shinde. By 1:00 PM, Mahayuti had crossed the crucial majority threshold, securing victory in several constituencies and leading in more than 200 seats. Sweets were brought to the residence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, and BJP’s Mumbai office was filled with jubilation, as party workers anticipated a resounding victory. BJP leader Vikas Pathak commented on the Election Commission of India (ECI) trends, stating, "We were expecting over 160 seats for Mahayuti, and that is exactly how it is shaping up. The lead could increase further. This year has been significant for BJP, with the party crossing 100 seats, and a Mahayuti Chief Minister is set to take office." Despite the celebrations, Pathak acknowledged that the final celebrations would only begin once the conclusive results are out and senior leaders like Devendra Fadnavis and possibly Maharashtra BJP Chief Pawan Bawankule join the festivities. In Baramati, where Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is leading by 15,382 votes, celebrations were also underway. Supporters were seen bursting crackers in celebration, with Pawar and other NCP leaders joining in the festivities. Reacting to the ongoing results, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate admitted that the results had not met the party’s expectations. "There is no doubt we could have done better. Our campaign was strong, but perhaps the public expects more from us, and we will strive to meet their expectations," she said. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut dismissed the results, claiming they did not reflect the true sentiments of the people of Maharashtra. His comments were sharply criticised by BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who defended Mahayuti's victory. "When anyone loses, they start making excuses for their defeat. In Maharashtra, we have worked for the upliftment of the poor, women, and farmers. Today, a government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi will form with a huge majority," he asserted. With the celebrations continuing across Maharashtra, all eyes will now be on the final decision regarding who will assume the post of Chief Minister. (With inputs from ANI)
23 November,2024 01:51 PM IST | MumbaiMaharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday lauded the performance of the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the state assembly polls, attributing its success to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the popular campaign slogan “ek hai toh safe hai.” As per PTI reports, Fadnavis, who is contesting from the Nagpur South West assembly constituency, is leading by a significant margin of 19,437 votes, as per Election Commission data available at 1pm. In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Fadnavis wrote, “‘Ek hai toh safe hai’ and ‘Modi hai toh mumkin hai.’ These slogans symbolise the trust people have in PM Modi's leadership and the Mahayuti alliance." The slogan "ek hai toh safe hai," heavily emphasised during Modi’s campaign speeches, resonated with voters and became a recurring theme of the electoral discourse, PTI notes. The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction, and Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has emerged as the frontrunner in the polls. As per PTI updates, the alliance is leading in more than 210 of the 288 assembly constituencies, setting the stage for a decisive mandate in favour of the ruling coalition. Polling for the assembly elections was conducted on Wednesday, and the counting of votes commenced early Saturday morning at 8am. The Election Commission data indicates a strong voter turnout in key constituencies, further strengthening the Mahayuti’s performance. The slogan “Modi hai toh mumkin hai,” which has been a cornerstone of the BJP’s campaign strategy nationally, also found significant traction in Maharashtra. The Mahayuti leaders frequently highlighted the Centre’s welfare policies and infrastructure projects, which, as per PTI, played a pivotal role in consolidating voter support. This electoral outcome is being viewed as a significant endorsement of the Mahayuti's governance model in the state. Meanwhile, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, comprising the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), Sharad Pawar’s NCP faction, and Congress, trails significantly in the ongoing vote count. As Maharashtra awaits the formal announcement of results, political analysts predict a smooth transition for the ruling alliance to form the next government, with decisions on key leadership positions likely to be taken soon. The BJP is expected to hold its legislative party meeting on 25th November, followed by an oath-taking ceremony for the new government on the 26th, sources told PTI. This landslide victory reaffirms the Mahayuti’s stronghold in Maharashtra’s political landscape. (With inputs from PTI)
23 November,2024 01:29 PM IST | MumbaiThe Maharashtra Assembly elections have delivered a resounding victory for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde emerging as a dominant force in the state’s political landscape. Leading in over 204 of the 288 constituencies, the alliance appears set to retain power, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) struggles to stay afloat with leads in just 47 seats, according to the Election Commission’s latest updates. Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction has significantly outpaced Uddhav Thackeray’s camp, with trends showing his party leading in 55 constituencies compared to Uddhav’s 20. Despite being early results, the numbers suggest that Shinde has solidified his claim as the leader of the “real Shiv Sena,” further bolstering his position as a political heavyweight. Decisive blow to Uddhav For Uddhav Thackeray, this election was more than just a political contest — it was a battle to secure his faction’s claim to the Shiv Sena’s legacy. However, Shinde’s faction has outperformed Uddhav’s Shiv Sena (UBT) with an impressive strike rate, contesting only 80 seats and gaining a substantial lead. In contrast, Uddhav’s group fielded candidates in 92 constituencies but has failed to match Shinde’s dominance. This assembly election outcome follows a similar pattern seen in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year, where Shinde’s Sena won 7 out of 15 contested seats, outperforming Uddhav’s 9 wins from 21 constituencies. The latest trends reinforce Shinde’s position as the custodian of the Shiv Sena’s ideological core, while Uddhav’s dependence on MVA allies appears to have alienated the party’s traditional voter base. Winning the grassroots battle Throughout the campaign, Shinde cast himself as the leader supported by the “true Shiv Sainiks.” His rallies frequently underscored his faction’s connection to the Sena’s grassroots ideology, which he claimed had been diluted under Uddhav’s leadership. In a notable rally at Vaijapur, Shinde derided Uddhav’s “flaming torch” election symbol, calling it a force of division. “They call it revolutionary, but it only sets homes ablaze,” Shinde said, painting his rival as out of touch with the party’s foundational principles. Shinde’s commitment to protecting the Sena’s Hindutva roots and appealing to its traditional voter base resonated strongly with the electorate, cementing his dominance. Mahayuti’s historic performance The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction, is poised for a historic victory. The BJP has led the charge, dominating in over 120 constituencies — a significant improvement from its 2019 tally of 105 seats. Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar’s faction has shown marked progress, leading in 35 seats and outperforming its dismal Lok Sabha performance earlier this year, when it secured just one seat. This formidable alliance has left the opposition MVA, a coalition of Uddhav’s Shiv Sena, Congress, and Sharad Pawar’s NCP, trailing far behind. With leads in only about 70 constituencies, the MVA has struggled to mount a credible challenge. Eknath Shinde’s triumph in this election is not just a personal victory but a turning point in Maharashtra’s political narrative. By outperforming his rivals and consolidating his party’s grassroots base, Shinde has claimed the mantle of the Shiv Sena’s true heir, leaving Uddhav’s faction to confront its existential crisis. As the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance secures a historic win, Maharashtra’s political landscape has undergone a seismic shift, with Shinde firmly entrenched as a leader of both conviction and consequence.
23 November,2024 01:12 PM IST | MumbaiThe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to convene the Maharashtra Legislative Party meeting on November 25, with the oath-taking ceremony for the new government set to take place on November 26, as per sources. A larger gathering of the Yuti alliance is expected to be held around the same time. This development follows the impressive performance of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in the state elections, which has now crossed the crucial majority threshold. According to the Election Commission data released around 11 am, the alliance is currently leading in 220 seats and appears poised for a landslide victory. Celebrations have already begun at the BJP office in Mumbai, with party members and supporters jubilant over the results. Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde expressed his satisfaction with the results, saying, "As we had expected, we have got very good numbers. I thank all the voters who stood behind Mahayuti and gave this landslide victory." Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Naresh Mhaske credited the alliance’s success to the leadership of Eknath Shinde, stating, "The people have shown their faith in Mahayuti, and the results clearly reflect that Eknath Shinde is the one capable of leading Balasaheb Thackeray’s Shiv Sena." According to the initial results, the Mahayuti alliance is leading in 220 seats, with the BJP securing 128 seats, taking the lead in Maharashtra. The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena follows closely behind with 55 seats. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, is leading in 35 seats, while the Rashtriya Yuva Swabhiman Party (RSHYVSWBHM) is leading in 2 seats. On the other hand, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance is trailing with a lead in just 51 seats. The Indian National Congress (INC), part of the MVA, is leading in 20 seats, with Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) in the lead in 16 seats. The NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar faction) is leading in 13 seats, while the Samajwadi Party (SP) has gained a lead in 2 seats. The All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Jan Surajya Shakti (JSS), and Peasants and Workers Party of India (PWPI) have each secured a lead in 2 seats. Minor parties, including Swatantra Bharat Paksha (STBP), Indian Secular Largest Assembly of Maharashtra (DISECL), CPI(M), Bahujan Vikas Aaghadi (BVA), and Rajarshi Shahu Vikas Aghadi (RSVA), are leading in one seat each. Additionally, five independent candidates (IND) are leading in their respective constituencies. As celebrations continue among the Sena-BJP-NCP alliance, all eyes are now on the appointment of the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra. According to ANI, speculation is rife over who will ultimately assume the state's top post following this resounding victory.
23 November,2024 01:07 PM IST | MumbaiFrom his humble beginnings as a corporator to becoming Maharashtra’s youngest mayor and later its first BJP chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis’ political ascent has been one of steady determination. As the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance inches closer to a sweeping victory in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, PTI reports that the 54-year-old leader is poised to take up the state’s top post for the third time. In a state traditionally dominated by Maratha leaders, Fadnavis stands out as a Brahmin leader with deep ties to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He is only the second Brahmin, after Shiv Sena’s Manohar Joshi, to have held the chief ministerial position in Maharashtra. Fadnavis first gained prominence during the 2014 assembly elections, where he emerged as a clear frontrunner for the chief minister’s role, enjoying the confidence of both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP stalwart Amit Shah. Modi himself praised him as "Nagpur's gift to the country" during the campaign. Son of the late Gangadhar Fadnavis, a Jan Sangh leader and political mentor to Nitin Gadkari, Fadnavis entered politics through the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the RSS’s student wing, in 1989. By 22, he became a corporator in Nagpur and, at 27, the city’s youngest mayor. His political journey saw him winning his first assembly election in 1999 and retaining his Nagpur South West seat in subsequent elections. Fadnavis’ clean image and sharp political acumen set him apart. During his first term as chief minister (2014–2019), he was credited with effective governance and expedited infrastructure projects, particularly in urban areas. However, his tenure also faced significant challenges, including the Maratha community’s agitation for reservations and farmer protests over loan waivers. The 2019 elections marked a turning point. After Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray broke ties with the BJP over the chief ministerial post, Fadnavis’ slogan "Mee punha yein" (I will come back) faced its biggest test. Although he formed a short-lived government with NCP leader Ajit Pawar, it collapsed within 72 hours. Subsequently, Uddhav Thackeray became chief minister, supported by the NCP and Congress. Fadnavis returned to prominence in 2022 when Eknath Shinde led a rebellion within the Shiv Sena, leading to Thackeray’s resignation. While many expected Fadnavis to reclaim the chief ministership, the BJP high command instead appointed Shinde to the role, with Fadnavis as his deputy. PTI reports that his acceptance of the role highlighted his loyalty to the party and its leadership. Despite setbacks, Fadnavis demonstrated resilience, notably playing a key role in the BJP-Shinde faction’s seat-sharing strategy after the party’s poor showing in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. PTI reports that the assembly election results now signal a resounding endorsement of his leadership and political strategy. As Maharashtra braces for another term under BJP leadership, Fadnavis’ journey underscores his adaptability and ability to navigate the state’s complex political landscape. His third tenure, if confirmed, will be watched closely for his ability to deliver on governance and manage Maharashtra’s evolving challenges. (With inputs from PTI)
23 November,2024 12:56 PM IST | MumbaiAmid the ongoing counting of votes for the Maharashtra elections 2024, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has expressed heartfelt gratitude to the voters for a decisive victory. “This is a landslide victory,” he proclaimed, thanking diverse groups from farmers to senior citizens for their support. "I want to thank the people for giving us a thumping majority and a landslide victory. This is a reflection of the hard work we have done over the past 2.5 years.

Just as we fought the elections together, all three parties will come together to discuss and decide who will take on the role of Chief Minister." Meanwhile, BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde said that there are several key factors behind this thumping victory of Mahayuti. “There are several key factors behind this thumping victory. The BJP and Shiv Sena had a natural alliance in Maharashtra, which was broken in 2019. This angered Balasaheb Thackeray’s supporters, and now they have made their voices heard,” said Vinod Tawde. He added, “The voters in Maharashtra have given a landslide victory to the Mahayuti under the leadership of Narendra Modi, Eknath Shinde, and Devendra Fadnavis. Development works and the Ladki Behna Yojana played a significant role in our success. All our alliance partners worked hard. Eknath Shinde Ji upheld Balasaheb Thackeray’s legacy, and the people voted for him. The voters have shown their faith in us.” When asked about the Chief Minister’s post, Tawde said, “We will sit with our alliance partners and decide collectively.” The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance appeared set to retain power in Maharashtra and was leading in 218 of the 288 assembly seats, as per figures of early trends in the counting the latest figures by the Election Commission. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi was stumbling, with its candidates leading in just 50 seats, as per the early trends. Indicating a landslide victory for the ruling alliance, TV channels said the Mahayuti was ahead in 222 seats and MVA in 56 constituencies, as counting of votes commenced Saturday morning in the November 20 elections. As per ECI figures, in the Mahayuti, BJP candidates were leading in 128 seats, Shiv Sena in 55 and NCP in 35 seats.

23 November,2024 12:38 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Pravin Darekar on Saturday demanded that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis be appointed as the next chief minister of the state with early trends in the counting of votes for the Maharashtra elections 2024 suggesting a win for the Mahayuti combine, reported news agency PTI. In the alliance, the party that secures the highest number of seats will be entitled to get the chief minister's post, he asserted. The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance appeared set to retain power in the state, and was leading in 218 of the 288 assembly seats, as per the latest figures in the counting of votes by the Election Commission. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was stumbling, with its candidates leading in just 50 seats. As per ECI figures, in the Mahayuti, BJP candidates were leading in 128 seats, Shiv Sena in 55 and NCP in 35 seats. Talking to reporters, BJP MLC Darekar said, "Based on the current trends, I believe that the BJP will be the single largest party and Devendra Fadnavis should become the chief minister. The election was contested under his leadership, and he called for a 'dharma yuddha' in these assembly polls," reported PTI. "I cannot express my gratitude to people," he said, reported PTI. When asked about the current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, whose party Shiv Sena is an ally of the BJP, Darekar said, "As part of the alliance, the party that secures the most seats will be entitled to the post of Chief Minister." Something is fishy, there's a big conspiracy: Sanjay Raut on poll trends suggesting Mahayuti's win Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday alleged that there was a "big conspiracy" and something was "fishy" in the Maharashtra assembly poll results with trends suggesting a landslide victory for the Mahayuti combine. Talking to reporters, he said the poll results do not reflect people's mandate as the situation was very different on the ground and there was palpable anger against the government. "I see a big conspiracy in this...This is not a mandate of Marathi 'manoos' and farmers," he said. "We do not accept this as people's mandate. Something is fishy in the election results," Raut added. There was no doubt that money was used in the polls, he alleged. "How can all MLAs of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde win? How can Ajit Pawar, whose betrayal angered Maharashtra, win?" the Rajya Sabha MP asked. (With inputs from PTI)
23 November,2024 12:27 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMaharashtra witnessed an extraordinary voter turnout in the recently concluded assembly elections, marking the highest participation in three decades. As results begin to trickle in, early trends indicate a strong lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance (BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP), which has surged past the halfway mark. Of the nine exit polls conducted, five predicted a comfortable victory for the Mahayuti bloc. Meanwhile, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (NCP(SP)-Shiv Sena (UBT)-Congress) is trailing, though still hopeful for a turnaround as counting continues. The elections are widely seen as a litmus test for the fractured political landscape of Maharashtra, particularly the split within the Shiv Sena and the NCP.
