Unexpected and unimaginable: Opposition on Mahayuti’s victory

The Hindu  

The Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi on Saturday described the Maharashtra Assembly election results as “unexpected and unimaginable”, even while delivering a sharp critique of the winning BJP-led Mahayuti alliance. Drastic shift Ramesh Chennithala, the All India Congress Committee’s in-charge of Maharashtra, said the defeat of veterans such as Balasaheb Thorat and former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has shocked the Congress ranks. ‘Vision of a single party’ Referencing the BJP’s long-standing push for simultaneous polls through its “one nation, one election” demand, Mr. Thackeray claimed that BJP national president J.P. Nadda has hinted at a “vision of one party”. How can Ajit Pawar, whose betrayal angered Maharashtra, win?” ‘MVA seat-sharing delays caused defeat’ The Communist Party of India leader Ashok Dhawale said that the MVA had lost the Maharashtra election due to overconfidence following its Lok Sabha success, as well as delayed seat-sharing agreements, and an internal competition for seats, He accused the BJP-led Mahayuti of engaging in communal polarisation and unprecedented money power, alleging that cash packets of ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 each were distributed to voters.
