Let us tell you that after the trends of the Lok Sabha elections, the opposition has come into active mode. Sharad Pawar said, I spoke to Kharge (Congress President) and Sitaram Yechury. The trends of UP show that things have changed. There will be a meeting of India Alliance in the evening. I will soon go to Delhi for the MVA meeting. Pawar said that BJP ran many agendas against us in the elections and we have learned from it.
Congress held a press conference
On the other hand, Congress held a press conference on Tuesday evening. In which party president Mallikarjun Kharge said that this order is against PM Modi. Also, Rahul Gandhi said that India Block and Congress did not fight this election against only one political party, but we fought this election against BJP, all institutions, CBI, ED. Because these institutions have been taken over by the Modi government. He said that this fight is to protect the Constitution. Congress said that in this election we respected the partners of India Block. We took them with us. Wherever the alliance fought, we fought together. Congress has given a new vision to the country.
The magic of Rahul-Akhilesh duo worked in Uttar Pradesh
Actually, there are some reasons behind the confidence with which Sharad Pawar is presenting his views. The key to this confidence is hidden in the trends till 3 pm. Talking about Uttar Pradesh, the credibility of the big leaders of BJP is at stake here. Those for whom winning the elections was considered very easy, faced difficulty in chasing their rivals.
BJP could win only 33 seats in UP
For example, in Amethi, BJP candidate Smriti Irani, who was a strong contender for victory, has lost and Kishori Lal Sharma (Congress candidate) has won. Congress has also managed to save its stronghold in Rae Bareli. Rae Bareli, which was a safe seat for Sonia Gandhi, has now gone to Rahul Gandhi. Overall, BJP seems to be reduced to just 33 seats in Uttar Pradesh, while SP has 37 and Congress has 6 seats.
Mamata-Abhishek duo stopped the victory chariot in West Bengal!
Now let's move towards West Bengal, the stronghold of TMC and CM Mamata. The Sandeshkhali issue was in discussion even before the elections. According to the Lok Sabha elections 2019, BJP has got 18 seats in West Bengal. This time BJP seems to be limited to only 12 seats here. Compared to the last Lok Sabha elections, this time BJP has lost 6 seats. TMC is leading since the counting of votes started at 8 am. TMC is winning 29 seats here, while BJP is winning only 12 seats and Congress is winning only one seat.
Trinamool Congress candidate and sitting MP Abhishek Banerjee has won from Diamond Harbor seat. He defeated his rival BJP candidate Abhijit Das.
Trinamool Congress candidate Rachna Banerjee has also won from Hooghly seat. She got 702744 votes. On the other hand, BJP candidate and sitting MP Locket Chatterjee has lost and BJP has lost this seat. The duo of Abhishek and Mamta has been successful in stopping the chariot of BJP in West Bengal.
Sharad-Uddhav alliance has made the path of NDA difficult in Maharashtra
On the other hand, if we look at Maharashtra, it has emerged as the second largest state after UP, where BJP has suffered a big loss. After Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra has the highest number of 48 Lok Sabha seats and thus it is also the most important part of the Lok Sabha elections. If we look at the declared results, NDA has suffered a big loss here. Shiv Sena's UBT, NCP's Sharad Chandra Pawar and Congress Party are all in the election fray together. Whereas under the NDA alliance, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, Ajit Pawar's NCP and Bharatiya Janata Party are in the fray.
In 2019, out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, BJP won 23, Shiv Sena won 18 and NCP won four seats. The farmers' movement and Maratha reservation in Maharashtra remain a big challenge for the BJP. The opposition has constantly made it an issue.
Who gets how many seats in Maharashtra?
Now if we look at the figures, this time BJP is winning only 10 seats in Maharashtra, which is directly 13 seats less than 2019. Ajit Pawar's NCP is seen getting only one seat. He rebelled against uncle Sharad and joined NDA with the party's name and election symbol, but it seems that the public has accepted Sharad Pawar as the real NCP chief. Sharad Pawar is likely to win 7 seats. Shiv Sena's Shinde faction is also winning seven seats, but Uddhav faction is winning 9 seats. Now if we look at the figures of Congress, it is also winning 13 seats more than BJP.
Uddhav Thackeray became the kingmaker of Mumbai
Here Uddhav Thackeray deserves a special mention, because he has proved to be the king and kingmaker of Mumbai. If he had not separated from NDA, today NDA would have had 26 seats in Maharashtra. BJP could win only in North Mumbai. Piyush Goyal is reaching Parliament from here. At the same time, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)'s party has won all three seats of Mumbai North East, Mumbai South and Mumbai South Central. While Congress has won in North Central and Shiv Sena has won in North West Mumbai.
