Mumbai : In the Lok Sabha elections, seven candidates of the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde have been elected, but the BJP has contributed a lot to the victory of these candidates. At the same time, the votes of the Shiv Sena Shinde group in the constituencies of BJP candidates have not been transferred to the BJP.
In the grand alliance of the BJP, the Shinde group and the Ajit Pawar group, the traditional votes of the BJP were transferred to the allies in a big way. However, senior BJP leaders said that the votes of either Shinde or Ajit Pawar were not transferred to the BJP candidates.
The Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress have an alliance government in Maharashtra. In Hatkanangale, Shiv Sena's Dhairyasheel Mane won by over 13,000 votes. His victory in Ichalkaranji, a BJP stronghold, gave him a margin of over 45,000 votes. In Buldhana, the Shiv Sena's Shinde faction won the seats of Sanjay Kute and Akash Phundkar of the BJP. In Maval, BJP's Shrirang Barne won from Panvel and Chinchwad.
BJP's Sandipan Bhumre wins from Sambhajinagar. Because the system of the Shinde group was widespread in Sambhajinar. Local BJP leaders are said to have thrown all their strength for Modi. BJP's Ravindra Waikar won the Mumbai North West seat with a margin of 48 votes. Vaikar lost by a huge margin from Jogeshwari constituency, where he had been an MLA for several years.
Two local BJP leaders, Amit Satam and Murji Patel, won in Andheri. In Kalyan, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son Shrikant Shinde won by a huge margin, but in Dombivli, the victory was easier due to the strength of Ravindra Chavan and MNS MLA Raju Patil.
It was our responsibility to elect the candidate of the Shiv Sena-Shinde group. If the Shinde group had been weakened, Uddhav Thackeray's strength would have increased. The BJP has said it will use all its strength to prevent this from happening.
