Mahayuti has performed brilliantly in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. BJP has secured 132 seats from Mahayuti. Whereas, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena has won 57 seats and Ajit Pawar’s NCP has won 411 seats. At the same time, in the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi, Uddhav Thackeray’s party has got the maximum 20 seats and Sharad Pawar’s party has got the least 10 seats. The situation is such that no party of Mahavikas Aghadi can even achieve the post of Leader of Opposition in the Assembly. The reason for this is that no one has got 10 percent seats.
