In clear sign of BJP’s influence, heavyweights from Shinde-led Sena & Ajit Pawar's NCP were dropped, but analysts say that despite majority, BJP can't afford to sideline allies just yet.
BJP leaders & govt officials believe that while there could be instances of friction, a sweeping mandate for BJP will help Devendra Fadnavis put his stamp on Maharashtra govt.
NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) candidate Uttam Jankar, who won the Malshiras assembly constituency within which the village falls, polled 160 fewer votes than BJP's Ram Satpute in Markadwadi.
5 months before Maharashtra assembly poll, BJP had made Yadav election in-charge. He previously led party to victory in MP, Bihar and Hyderabad municipal elections.
Maharashtra voters clearly prefer parties with a track record of performance and some seriousness in their approach toward the issues of the state’s population.
With Mahayuti sweeping Maharashtra polls & BJP clinching 132 of 288 seats, all eyes are now on who becomes the Maharashtra CM. Sena wants Shinde back. BJP is inclining towards Fadnavis.
DMK govt accuses Centre of withholding funds, tightening borrowing, unilateral deductions from state accounts. Says Centre's accounting & funding decisions have 'artificially inflated' debt burden.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
