BJP-Led Mahayuti Alliance Sweeps Maharashtra Legislative Council Elections with All 9 Candidates Elected

During the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led NDA alliance suffered a major setback in Maharashtra. At the same time, Congress led I.N.D.I.A had got a big benefit. This time the game turned upside down in the Legislative Council elections. The BJP led Mahayuti alliance had fielded 9 candidates, out of which all 9 won. Its effect will also be seen in the upcoming assembly elections. A total of 12 candidates were fielded for 11 seats in the MLC elections, out of which 9 were from Mahayuti and 3 from Mahavikas Aghadi. 9 out of 9 candidates of Mahayuti won while 2 candidates of MVA won. In this election, MVA had 66 votes, it was hopeful that cross voting could happen and all three of its candidates could win but it did not happen.
