India Political Highlights | Maha Yuti camps celebrate as it wins 9 seats in Maharashtra Legislative Council polls
The ruling Mahayuti alliance of the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP in Maharashtra on Friday won all the nine seats it contested in the biennial elections to 11 seats for the state legislative council. While the BJP won five seats, the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) bagged two each. From the opposition, Milind Narvekar, close aide of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, and Congress candidate Pradnya Satav won the elections. The Centre has decided to observe June 25, the day the Emergency was declared in 1975, as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas' to commemorate the "massive contributions" of those who endured inhuman pains of the period. While the Congress slammed the Centre’s move as yet another "headline grabbing exercise in hypocrisy" by PM Modi, the top leadership of the BJP defended the decision. Meanwhile, West Bengal CM Mamata, who is in Mumbai to attend Anant Ambani's wedding met two key I.N.D.I.A. bloc leaders in Mumbai more than a month after the Lok Sabha poll results.
