BJP didn't fight 149 seats given to us, all of us in Mahayuti fought all 288 seats and Mahavikas Aghadi was busy fighting and pointing fingers on media panels, says BJP leader Zafar Islam.
The Mahayuti is en route to a record win in the Maharashtra Assembly election, in which no alliance has ever crossed the magic 200-seat mark.
The ruling alliance - led by the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party factions led by Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar - was ahead in 223 of the state's 288 seats at noon, and The Maha Vikas Aghadi - fronted the Congress and the Sena and NCP groups led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar - is ahead in just 55. Non-aligned parties are leading in 10.
