Maharashtra Election Result 2024: The Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday broke the silence after the humiliating defeat of Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra Assembly election 2024, and said that the results were not on the expected lines. Pawar said that he travelled to various districts, adding, everyone including Shiv Sena and Congress made collective efforts, but the result did not match the efforts they made.

Ajit, who parted ways with his uncle Sharad Pawar last year, polled 1,81,132 votes while Yugendra Pawar polled 80,233 votes.
