Ruling ‘Mahayuti’ parties reign supreme in Maharashtra gram panchayat election

The ruling tripartite ‘Mahayuti’ parties bested the Opposition three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the Maharashtra gram panchayat (GP) polls, with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday stating that the results were clear proof of the faith displayed by the State’s electorate in the ruling government.

While the complete results of polling in 2,359 GPs across the State were still to be declared, the ruling BJP reigned supreme, bagging more than 600 GPs.

The saffron party’s partner in the ‘Mahayuti’ — the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction — won in nearly 400 gram panchayats, while the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena group secured over 300 GPs.
