Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar
In the recently held Legislative Council elections in Maharashtra, Mahayuti or NDA won 9 out of 11 seats. The opposition Bharat Gathbandhan i.e. Maha Vikas Aghadi had to settle for 2 seats. Ajit Pawar’s NCP won both the seats in this election. Sharad Pawar’s support group lost to Jayant Patil due to cross voting in the election. Jayant Patil faced defeat due to cross voting by many Congress MLAs. Now Ajit Pawar himself has told the subtle story of the election.
State Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar revealed many secrets related to the election in an informal interaction with the media. He said that I did not give any inducement to the MLAs in the Legislative Council elections. Only saluted the MLAs. I got more respect than others. Because I had good relations with many MLAs. That is why they voted for our candidate. I only wished the MLAs who had come to cast their votes.
Six votes were brought in from outside

Our Grand Alliance is capable, we will win the elections.
Survey will be conducted on 288 seats
Meanwhile, Ajit Group leader Prafull Patel also addressed the media. He said that NCP will survey 288 seats for the upcoming assembly elections. NCP won 54 seats in 2019 elections.
