With leads in 132 seats, BJP nearly doubled its leads in 79 assembly segments in LS polls. NCP jumped from leads in six assembly segments during LS polls to 41 seats. Shiv Sena secured leads in 57 seats compared to 40 assembly segments in LS polls.
At the same time, MVA lost immense ground after LS polls. The alliance was leading only in 46 seats compared to its lead in 153 assembly segments during general elections. Congress was in front in only 16 seats, compared to leads in 63 assembly segments during LS polls. Sena (UBT) won only 20 of 57 assembly seats it had secured a lead on in LS polls. NCP (SP) was leading in 10 seats against its leads in 33 assembly segments in LS polls.
BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye said, “People realised that LS election campaign was based on a fake narrative. Our campaign focused on development and projects we implemented.”
Though Mahayuti gained seats, vote share of its partners remained more or less the same when compared to LS elections. BJP’s vote share in June was 26.18% compared to 26.77% in assembly polls till late night. Shiv Sena’s vote share remained over 12%. NCP made an impressive gain, jumping from 3.6% in LS polls to over 11% in results declared on Saturday. All MVA partners saw a drop in their vote share compared to LS polls.
Rajas Parchure, former director of Gokhale Institute of Economics and Politics, told TOI Mahayuti’s clear sweep indicated voters found a chord of connection with govt having executed its promises.
Prakash Pawar, a poll analyst, told TOI, “BJP managed to secure all internal conflict by getting a grip on groups in every constituency. Congress failed to be present on the ground for the last few months, especially when they all rushed to Wayanad for Priyanka Gandhi’s form submission. They ended up ignoring on-ground campaigning.”
