NDA Makes Strong Start In Maharashtra, Widens Lead Over MVA
The ruling Mahayuti alliance has opened a commanding lead in very early trends as counting began Saturday morning for the Maharashtra Assembly election. The Mahayuti - fronted by the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party factions led by Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar - was ahead in 71 seats by 8.45 am. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi - the Congress and the Sena and NCP groups led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar - was ahead in only 21.
