PM thanks party workers
The prime minister also extended his gratitude to the party workers for their unwavering support and dedication throughout the campaign. “They worked hard, went among the people, and elaborated on our good governance agenda.” The Mahayuti coalition is on track for a decisive win in Maharashtra, leading in 233 of the state’s 288 Assembly seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi is ahead in just 50 seats.
Congress-led INDIA bloc wins Jharkhand
Prime Minister Modi also shared a brief update on the Jharkhand election, where the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is poised to lose to the Congress-led INDIA bloc. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, an ally of Congress both at the state and central levels, is leading in 57 of 81 seats, while the NDA holds 23.
“I thank the people of Jharkhand for their support towards us. We will always be at the forefront of raising people’s issues and working for the state,” the Prime Minister said, also offering his congratulations to the JMM and the ruling alliance for their victory.
The BJP is on track for its best-ever performance in a Maharashtra Assembly election, signaling its return to dominance in the western state. With the seats secured by the Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar factions of the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party, the Mahayuti coalition will be the first to surpass the 200-seat mark in Maharashtra.
