After LS setback, Mahayuti shines in Maharashtra council polls; Pawar-backed nominee loses

Mahayuti won nine Legislative Council seats in Maharashtra. BJP secured five seats, Shiv Sena and NCP two each. MVA's Jayant Patil lost, while Narvekar and Satav won. The legislative assembly served as the electoral college, requiring 23 votes per candidate. NCP managed unique votes. Shinde referenced a false narrative for MVA's Lok Sabha performance; Mahayuti targets upcoming assembly polls.
