The Maharashtra Assembly election results were a major setback for Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, and Raj Thackeray. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) failed to secure any seats, while the Congress performed poorly, with state chief Nana Patole losing by a narrow margin of around 660 votes. In contrast, the BJP, led by Devendra Fadnavis, saw a significant gain, improving its seat tally by over 25 and helping the Mahayuti alliance secure nearly 50% of the vote share.
