New Delhi:

Maharashtra Election Results 2024 Highlights: Maharashtra voted with enthusiasm, registering a voter turnout not seen in three decades. The counting of votes elevated the Mahayuti (BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP) to power.

These elections were a test for the fractured Shiv Sena and NCP, after a split in these parties following a rebellion. Even as the Mahayuti's victory became clearer, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis said the parties will discuss the next chief minister.

In a largely peaceful election, a multi-crore bitcoin scam involving the names of Mr Patole and NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule started a row. Further, BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde was accused of a cash-for-votes scam, with the opposition alleging he distributed Rs 5 crore.

Here are the Highlights of Maharashtra Election Results 2024:

You Will Have To Work Under D Fadnavis: Uddhav Thackeray Jabs E Shinde

Routed in the Maharashtra Assembly election, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray was asked if this result has settled the debate over who represents the 'real' Shiv Sena -- he or his estranged lieutenant and the incumbent Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The former Chief Minister, whose government was toppled in 2022 when Mr Shinde led a rebellion that split the Sena, had a message for his former brother-in-arms. "You have to work under (Devendra) Fadnavis. First figure out which bungalow you will get," Mr Thackeray replied.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief also referred to the ongoing legal battle over which faction has claim to the Sena's symbol and name and lamented that the case had not reached a conclusion yet.
