The first electoral test for the coalition following the toppling of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government came as a disappointment for the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena, which is caught in a tussle with the Shinde faction over control of the party. (File)In a boost for the BJP and its ally Shinde Sena, the two parties claimed 299 of the 547 sarpanch posts in this week’s panchayat elections, across 17 districts of Maharashtra. Of these, the BJP alone won 259.
The first electoral test for the coalition following the toppling of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government came as a disappointment for the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena, which is caught in a tussle with the Shinde faction over control of the party.
It got 40 posts, which was much as the fledgling Shinde faction, but put it behind both the NCP, with more than 130 sarpanch posts, and the Congress, with close to 80. The Maha Vikas Aghadi together managed to get 250 sarpanch posts, less than the BJP on its own.
As the BJP and NCP both celebrate their performance, the Uddhav Sena has been arguing that the results should be seen in the context of the entire MVA, which finished almost at par with the BJP-Shinde Sena.
However, few are buying that argument.
