Election Results 2024 LIVE: Ajit Pawar Wins Baramati, Rahul Gandhi to Analyze Maharashtra Outcome

There have been major political changes as a result of the 2024 Assembly election outcomes in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is expected to hold onto power in Maharashtra, and the JMM coalition, led by Hemant Soren, is expected to win a second consecutive term in Jharkhand. At a pivotal point for both states, the final vote counts were announced Saturday night.

Election Results in Maharashtra

With the BJP alone holding 133 seats, the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) and Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar faction) are part of the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, which is leading in 236 of 288 seats and securing a majority. In Maharashtra's assembly, 145 is the midway point. With only 48 seats, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which is made up of the Congress, the NCP (Sharad Pawar group), and the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction), is in the lead.

Ajit Pawar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, defeated his nephew Yugendra Pawar of the NCP (SP) by a margin of more than one lakh votes, retaining his seat in Baramati.

Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, acknowledged the unexpected nature of the results and spoke briefly, expressing surprise. He underlined the necessity of a thorough examination of the Maharashtra election results.

Asserting that the victory demonstrated the public's faith in progress and sound governance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the Maharashtra people for their "historic mandate" in support of the NDA.

Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) described the Maharashtra election results as "unexpected and incomprehensible," expressing shock at how voters rejected his party, which he said had benefited the state throughout the plague.

Election Results in Jharkhand

Hemant Soren's JMM party is part of the JMM-led alliance that looks to establish the government in Jharkhand for a second consecutive term. As of right now, the alliance holds a majority of 41 seats, while it leads in 56 of the 81 assembly seats. With leads in just 24 seats, the BJP-led NDA is lagging behind.

With a landslide victory of 39,791 votes, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren kept his seat in Barhait. In the Gandey seat, his wife Kalpana Soren also won by defeating Muniya Devi of the BJP by more than 17,000 votes.

The JMM's victory is interpreted as a confirmation of the party's dominance in the state, as people responded favorably to Soren's leadership's emphasis on land, water, and forest rights.
