Mahayuti Alliance Dominates Maharashtra Local Polls

“This election has taught us a lot of things, such as tackling the centralisation of authority and abuse of money and power. As the municipal corporation polls are ward-wise and not held to elect a mayor, we will be better prepared. However, core ideas such as stopping the BJP will remain constant. Local units will again be given authority to decide what is beneficial and whether or not to have an alliance. The honest and dedicated workers of the party are our strength.”

“Our decision led to the division of votes and it helped us as well as our allies. The core of our strategy was to stop the BJP. If we saw that fielding an MVA candidate could lead to consolidation of votes for the Mahayuti, it was better to fight solo and divide those votes. Local equations were also taken into consideration for every district. The results would have been better had there been better coordination.”
