As the BJP fell well short of the majority mark in Parliament in the recent Lok Sabha elections, one of the states where it lost ground is Maharashtra as itstally fell from 23 to nine.
Amid some discordant notes among BJP allies over allocations in the Union Council of Ministers, the Shiv Sena on Monday said its support for the Narendra Modi-led government was unconditional and there was no bargaining happening for any Cabinet post or portfolio.
Hours after Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis offered to resign as Deputy Chief Minister over the party’s poor performance in the state, he received a call from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, assuring a hearing to him regarding his concerns.
At the review meeting held by NCP chief Ajit Pawar on Thursday to discuss the party’s Lok Sabha poll performance, winning just one seat, five of his 41 MLAs were absent. Narhari Zirwal is said to be abroad, and four reported to be unwell. Ajit, on his part, skipped the meeting in Delhi on Wednesday of NDA partners, where they affirmed faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
MAHARASHTRA was considered a state which might make or break the BJP’s fortunes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. And it held true to that, bringing down the party to nine seats from 23 in 2019, and stopping it well short of a majority in Parliament.
Left with a handful of leaders and legislators, his nephew usurping his party name and symbol, veteran politician Sharad Pawar was down last year. Eleven months later, the 83-year-old has bounced back. With his party, NCP (SP) — Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) — leading in eight of the 10 Lok Sabha seats it contested in Maharashtra, Pawar has displayed his resolve to take up challenges and seems to have given a new lease of life to his party by hitting the highest strike rate as per the initial counting trends.
The result of Maharashtra’s 48 Lok Sabha seats will set the stage for political churning in the state where Assembly elections are scheduled to be held later this year.
