The voters had casted their votes for MAHA-YUTI (alliance between BJP and Shiv Sena) on the belief that the mandate is being made in favour of the BJP-SHIV SENA, similarly people have voted either NCP or INC on the belief that the vote is being made in favor of MAHA-AGHAD with the hope of forming the government. As per the results, the BJP (105 MLA’s) and Shiv Sena (56 MLA’s) i.e 161 elected MLA’s.
