Maharashtra election results 2024: Tsunami for Mahayutthi, crushing defeat for Mahavikas Aghadi – Know 10 reasons

The results of the 288-seat parliamentary election in Maharashtra are about to be released. The Mahayutthi (Bharatiya Janata Party, Shiv Sena, National Communist Party) alliance won an overwhelming victory and the alliance returned to power. On the other hand, the opposition alliance Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a heavy defeat. The storm of victory of the BJP has dealt a huge blow to the politics of former chief minister Thackeray and NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who calls himself the real Shiv Sena. In this election, the state of this alliance has become such that the senior leader is no longer even suitable to be the leader of the opposition. How did Mahayutthi triumph so much and how did Mahavika Aghadi fail.

Learn 10 reasons why

1. Apart from the fight for Maha Vikas Aghadi’s seat and demonstration of his supremacy, internal conflicts and factional fighting also dominate the parties. The disagreement was so great that it was all out in the public eye. Mahayuthi’s victory not only showed the strength and unity of the alliance. The BJP won a strong electoral base with the pairing of Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde, which the two leaders did not emphasize in public Any disagreement.

2. Over the past few years, the major political parties Congress, led by Mahavikas Aghadi, and the National Conference, led by Sharad Pawar, have seen their support decline in Maharashtra. These parties also lost credibility, especially among voters. On the other hand, the popularity of the BJP has increased and the level of trust has also increased, which was also seen in the Lok Sabha elections.
3. The split in the Shiv Sena and subsequently in the NCP is a big deal for Maharashtra politics. The Bharatiya Janata Party has benefited from the split between the two parties, with a section of people on both sides siding with the BJP, to which the BJP gives full respect. While demonstrating opposition unity, the foundations of an Indian alliance were laid, in which Maharashtra played an important role, but which turned out to be weak.
4. There was a leadership crisis in the Congress, the consequences of which were felt in the Lok Sabha and the legislative assemblies of many states. Congress also failed to take an immediate decision on seat allocation for the Grand Alliance in this election. It is also an important reason for its failure. The BJP’s efficient leadership and electoral management were important reasons for its victory.
5. In Mahavika Aghadi, leadership was in the hands of senior leaders and had to face charges of nepotism, whereas in Mahayutthi, leadership was in the hands of the youth and emphasis was placed on organization and alliance. Young leaders also perform their duties well, which is also a factor.
6. When Maha Vikas Aghadi was in power, the public blamed poor progress on development and cited the government’s failures. The public does not want such a government to return. Shinde, on the other hand, appreciated the development work of the government and the government’s schemes, especially the Ladki Behan scheme, and voted for victory.
7. Maha Vikas Aghadi neither presented any special plan to attract voters nor had an effective campaign before the elections. Together with the alliance, the BJP presented a strong narrative to the public and made many coordinated promises.
8. Apart from balancing the caste equation and development politics, Mahayutti also worked on social media engineering. While the BJP has made inroads through its organized cadre and strong campaigning, Mahavika Aghadi has failed to manage the caste equation.
9. Enthusiasm among workers and Mahayutthi leaders also remained at the peak, while workers were discouraged by the lack of coordination among Mahavika Aghadi leaders.
10. It is time for big leaders like Mahavikas Aghadi’s Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar to introspect after their failures. The weaknesses of the opposition political bosses were exposed, and Mahayuti’s victory brought the excitement to a climax. The victory achieved under PM Modi’s leadership and better electoral strategy and the impact of UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s Batenge on the Katenge slogan is evident.
