Mahayuti Alliance Sweeps Maharashtra Election: Shinde Thanks Voters, Sanjay Raut Alleges Seats 'Stolen'
As the poll counting trends showed that the Mahayuti alliance looked set to win the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, securing leads in 221 seats—well beyond the majority mark of 145—the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP offices erupted in celebrations. Key leaders hailed the victory as a testament to their governance, while opposition parties voiced criticism of the results.
Opposition Claims 'Seats Were Stolen'
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut expressed serious doubts over the emerging trends, alleging that the Maha Vikas Aghadi seats were “stolen”, reported NDTV.
He claimed irregularities in the vote-counting process, stating, “This cannot be the public's decision. Is it possible that Shinde gets 60 seats, Ajit Pawar gets 40, and BJP 125? The people of Maharashtra are not dishonest.”
Raut accused the ruling alliance of tampering with the mandate, describing the results as “imposed".

"People reposed their trust in Mahayuti's governance. In 2019, Sharad Pawar broke BJP's alliance with Uddhav Thackeray. This result shows voters didn't approve of it," Tawde said in the video shared by ANI.
