BJP Declares Maharashtra Election Win a Rejection of 'Betrayal Politics'

Amit Shah credits BJP's landslide victory to development-focused governance and vows to strengthen the party at all levels in the state.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the BJP's victory in Maharashtra marks the end of decades of 'politics of betrayal' initiated by Sharad Pawar in 1978 and continued by Uddhav Thackeray in 2019.
The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance secured a historic win in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, winning 233 out of 288 seats, with BJP alone claiming 132 seats.
Shah emphasized that Maharashtra voters reinforced Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena as the true legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray and Ajit Pawar's faction as the real NCP.
The BJP's victory is being hailed as a major blow to opposition alliances, with Shah asserting that it has diminished the confidence of the INDIA bloc.
Shah urged party workers to expand BJP's grassroots presence, setting a target of 1.5 crore members in Maharashtra and aiming for dominance at all levels of governance.
