ABP News  

Maharashtra Elections 2024: The Mahayuti’s massive win in Maharashtra was the big story from the latest election season, even as the Opposition managed to retain Jharkhand with a decisive majority. Led by the BJP’s 132 seats, the Mahayuti looked set to wrest 236 seats in the 288-seat Maharashtra assembly, reducing the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi to 48. Hail Jharkhand!” While Hemant Soren is expected to retain the CM’s chair in Jharkhand, discussions will be held among the three Mahayuti constituents on who will hold the post in Maharashtra. PM Modi also said the Congress-led Opposition’s divisive caste census rhetoric had failed to impress voters, who had instead given their mandate to the BJP’s “ek hain toh safe hain” slogan.
