With the BJP-led Mahayuti scoring a massive victory in the Maharashtra Assembly election, senior party leader and incumbent Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reiterated that he is a "modern Abhimanyu who knows how to break the Chakravyuh". The reference was to Abhimanyu, a character in epic Mahabharata. The son of Arjuna and Subdhadra, he was a warrior who knew how to enter the Chakravyuh, a maze-like military formation, but did not know how to exit it. In the epic, he was trapped and killed by Kaurava fighters.
