Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray: Old order humbled in Maharashtra as BJP-led Mahayuti set for record win

Hindustan Times  

In a matter of a few hours, the old political order has crumbled in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray with party leader Sanjay Raut, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar. Uddhav Thackeray, the man who purported to represent Shiv Sena was put in his place, Eknath Shinde is the new heavyweight in state politics and the BJP has just demonstrated that its loss in the Lok Sabha elections, both in the state and at the centre, could be no more than a flash in the pan. Even as results kept trickling in, it became clear that Shinde-led Mahayuti is set for a landslide win in the Maharashtra assembly elections, with trends showing the BJP's tally alone double that of the Maha Vikas Aghadi's. Pushing its hardline Hindutva agenda — illustrated by slogans such as “ek hain toh safe hain ” and “batenge toh katenge ” — the BJP worked, uniting and energising its vote base, while negating the MVA’s attempt to consolidate Muslims, Dalits, and Kunbis, one of the largest OBC groups in the state.
