Party's district-level leaders have expressed unhappiness with lack of cohesion within MVA, especially between Sena (UBT) & Congress. Sena (UBT) chief Sanjay Raut has dismissed such talk.
Mahayuti is planning a swearing-in ceremony on 2 December, but if power-sharing is not finalised till then, it may have to be postponed to 4 December, says an NCP insider.
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.
Athawale disagrees with Shinde Sena likening claim to CM’s chair to concession in Bihar, says Mahayuti performed even better than NDA partners’ expectations in Maharashtra.
The multiplier effect of various factors and strategies ensured bigger-than-expected results for Mahayuti. But this historic win has also underlined the limitations of morality in politics.
While Congress has questioned poll process & varying voter preferences in bypoll & assembly elections held on same day, BJP functionary says ‘sympathy factor involved’ in MVA win in LS seat.
Unlike LS polls, RSS & BJP worked ‘tirelessly’ in Maharashtra & Jharkhand. While the BJP-led Mahayuti put on a solid show in Maharashtra, the party fell short in the other.
PM Modi says Maharashtra witnessed 'triumph of development, good governance, and genuine social justice', promises BJP 'will work harder for Jharkhand's development'.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
