Reportedly maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde on monday dismissed the claim of growing support for the shiv sena (UBT), claiming that the Muslim vote “swelling” in their favour would soon dissipate. Shinde, addressing a rally in Vaijapur for the party candidate Ramesh Bornare, emphasized that Shiv Sena’s focus on community service, rather than caste-based politics, was the reason for the party’s victory in the aurangabad lok sabha constituency.
Meanwhile the chief minister alleged the ‘flaming torch’ poll symbol of the uddhav thackeray faction was a medium to set houses on fire and create a rift among communities. The opposition’s fake narrative during the lok sabha polls about the bjp wanting to the change the Constitution has been “finished” and will play no role in the november 20 maharashtra assembly polls, deputy chief minister devendra fadnavis said on Monday. fadnavis, who held a campaign rally in his nagpur South West constituency during the day, was speaking to television channels.
Moreover shiv sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, “We (MVA) will win 160-170 seats…Don’t trust the surveys that are coming in. A similar survey had come out during lok sabha elections too, it said ‘400 paar’ for PM Modi.” maharashtra deputy cm and ncp candidate from Baramati assembly constituency, ajit pawar said, “Mahayuti will get more than 175 seats and I will win from Baramati by more than 1 lakh votes.”
