Maharashtra Election 2024: BJP’s OBC Strategy Defeated Maratha Power Block

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 26, 2024 11:31 IST - 8 MINS READ For those following the Maharashtra Assembly election, the result announced on November 23 came as a surprise: Not because the BJP-led Mahayuti won the State, but because of the enormous margin of its victory. The biggest factor that proved decisive in the BJP’s success to overcome the “Maratha Challenge” in the Assembly election is the party’s capacity to strategise swiftly. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the slogan “Ek Hai Toh Safe Hai” in the Maharashtra Assembly election campaign, many took it as a communal rhetoric against Muslims. BJP’s Maratha candidates So, when Manoj Jarange Patil successfully decimated the OBC leadership of the BJP in the Lok Sabha election, the BJP started mobilising its original vote base. It helped the BJP divide Maratha votes, and with the help of OBC votes, Meghana Bordikar won the election.
