New Delhi: A day ahead of the counting of votes for the crucial Maharashtra Assembly Elections, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanavis, visited the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand to offer prayers to Lord Shiva.

"Took darshan and blessings at Kedarnath temple, this morning. Har Har Mahadev!" Fadnavis tweeted along with multiple photos of his trip.


Fadanavis who is contesting from Nagpur South West constituency, sought the blessing of Lord Shiva for the victory of the NDA alliance of BJP and Shiv Sena in the state.

Polling for the 288 seats of the Maharashtra Assembly and 90 seats of Haryana was held on October 21. The counting of votes is scheduled to begin on October 24 at 8am.

Almost all the exit polls in the state have predicted a landslide win for BJP in both the states.

Union Minister and BJP leader Prakash Javadekar has expressed that the BJP is going to create history by winning more than 222 seats in Maharashtra.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also visited the Kedarnath and Badrinath shrines after the conclusion of Lok Sabha polls in May, earlier this year.
