Responding to the remarks, Fadnavis pointed to the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections and those in 2019.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded on Sunday to Nationalist Congress Party (NCP SP) Chief Sharad Pawar’s remarks on the Mahayuti alliance’s win in the Assembly elections.
Pawar had called the comparison between votes polled and seats won by the parties ‘surprising’. According to him, his party and ally, Congress, won fewer seats despite getting more votes than NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction).
Answering the statements, Fadnavis mentioned that in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) managed to collect more votes yet only garnered nine seats from the state.
