Maharashtra BJP to Support Mahayuti Allies in State Elections

Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule has confirmed that the BJP will prioritize its Mahayuti coalition allies, including the Ajit Pawar-led NCP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, in the upcoming state elections. He denied reports of internal conflicts and emphasized that the current government will ensure the continuation of beneficial schemes.

Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced on Tuesday that the party will strengthen its support for Mahayuti coalition allies, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, in the state elections.

Addressing a question about reports suggesting a friendly contest in 25 constituencies with internal tussles among alliance partners, Bawankule dismissed such claims as baseless. He reaffirmed the BJP's commitment to backing NCP and Shiv Sena candidates.

Bawankule also commented on a social media post by NCP(SP) leader Rohit Pawar predicting seat distribution in the upcoming elections, stating that such surveys are inconsequential. He added that the re-election of the Mahayuti government would ensure the continuation of beneficial schemes introduced by both the Centre and state.
