Published by Webster

The Samajwadi Party has two MLAs in the Maharashtra Assembly. Mumbai: In a blow to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and the Opposition in Maharashtra, the Samajwadi Party has decided to quit the alliance after a controversial remark from a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray on the demolition of the Babri Masjid.  On the 32nd anniversary of the Babri Mosque demolition, Milind Narvekar, a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader posted a photo of the mosque, accompanied by a quote from Shiv Sena patriarch Balasaheb Thackeray which read, “I am proud of those who did this.” M Narvekar’s post also featured images of Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray and himself. pic.twitter.com/3nZYC4EK0e — Milind Narvekar (@NarvekarMilind_) December 5, 2024 The Samajwadi Party has two MLAs in the Maharashtra Assembly.

Published by Webster

Image Source : PTI Eknath Shinde with Devendra Fadnavis After leading the BJP-led coalition to a massive victory in Maharashtra assembly elections, now the murmurs have intensified for the Chief Minister’s post. Interestingly, Eknath Shinde on Tuesday morning tendered his resignation as CM, thus paving the way for Devendra Fadnavis to take the top post. Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde on Tuesday resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister following the results of the assembly elections. Shinde submitted his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai. The Governor asked Shinde to serve as caretaker CM till the new chief minister is sworn in.   The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition won a landslide victory in the elections bagging 235 seats in the 288-member assembly. According to sources, there are two scenarios which are being worked upon. In the first scenario, Eknath Shinde will be the deputy Chief Minister under leadership of Devendra Fadnavis for the full five years. And there will be no rotation in two and half years. Just as Fadnavis worked as deputy Chief Minister for …

Elon Musk Praises India’s Vote Counting Process, Takes Jibe At US Elections

Elon Musk Praises India’s Vote Counting Process, Takes Jibe At US Elections

Published by Webster

New Delhi: Elon Musk on Sunday praised the efficiency of India’s vote-counting process and slammed the prolonged delays in parts of the United States, particularly California. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Musk applauded India’s ability to count 640 million votes in just one day after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, contrasting it with the sluggish vote tallying in California for the US presidential elections, which remains unfinished nearly 20 days after voting began on November 5.  Responding to a post that carried a screenshot of a media report titled ‘How India counted 640 million votes in a day’, the Tesla and SpaceX chief wrote, “India counted 640 million votes in 1 day. California is still counting votes” India counted 640 million votes in 1 day. California is still counting votes 🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/ai8JmWxas6 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 24, 2024 India conducted its Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, involving over 900 million eligible voters.

Behind BJP’s Winning Game In Maharashtra After Big Slide In Lok Sabha Polls

Behind BJP’s Winning Game In Maharashtra After Big Slide In Lok Sabha Polls

Published by Webster

The assembly elections in Maharashtra have shed light yet again on the BJP’s resilience and successful strategising after a setback. The party has managed a successful course correction in the state where just a few months ago, it has slid massively in the Lok Sabha polls. From 28 seats in 2019, the party had managed to win only 13 seats this year — a situation that restricted its numbers in the Lok Sabha and for the first time since 2014, made it dependent on its allies for majority in the lower house. After Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra has the second highest number of MPs — 48. What worked for the BJP was a massive course correction that included a delicate balance of welfare measures for women, tribals, and other sections by the state government, more attention to candidates, and grassroots level campaign that they achieved after patching up the rift with ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The big catalyst here was the ‘Ladki Behen’ scheme under which the state government made cash transfers of Rs 1,500 …

Nov 24, 2024 03:20 AM IST With 235 out of 288 assembly seats, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance registered the biggest win in the state for any alliance or party since the 1972 election. The Mahayuti alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Shiv Sena, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and some smaller allies has won 235 out of 288 seats in the Maharashtra elections, the biggest win in the state for any alliance or party since the 1972 election. While all the big parties in this alliance have won at least half the seats they contested, it is the BJP that has delivered the best performance among them. In fact, the BJP has delivered its own best performance in the state and for any single party since 1990. An HT analysis shows the party has achieved this by bringing its performance against regional parties at par with its performance against the Congress, something it had not achieved earlier.

For Sharad Pawar, This Maharashtra Assembly Election Defeat Is Personal

For Sharad Pawar, This Maharashtra Assembly Election Defeat Is Personal

Published by Webster

Mr Pawar’s faction of the NCP is leading in only 12 seats in Maharashtra. New Delhi: One of Indian politics’ most resilient figures, Sharad Pawar, has hinted that he will quit active politics after his Rajya Sabha term ends in 2026. If the 83-year-old goes ahead with the plan, his retirement will come after his last Maharashtra Assembly elections at the helm of his party proving to be one of the biggest blots in an otherwise stellar career. As things stood on Saturday evening, the Sharad Pawar faction of the NCP was ahead in only 10 of the state’s 288 seats after contesting 87 – a strike rate of 11.49%, which is the veteran leader’s worst ever. What will add to this ignominy is that the party had a strike rate of 80% in the Lok Sabha polls just six months ago. For Sharad Pawar and his NCP, the thing that will probably hurt even more is the fact that it is 31 seats behind the Ajit Pawar faction in what was seen as an …
