BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule told ANI, “Today there is a Central Election Committee meeting, in which there will be discussions on our sitting seat of BJP. I think that most of the seats in our party are settled. Right now there is not much left, very little is left and it is negligible. We have our seats, Eknath ji has his seats and Ajit dada has his seats. First of all, we will have to decide on those sitting seats, later we will have to decide on the remaining seats.”
“We have learned a few things after losing the elections (Lok Sabha). We could not understand the lies that the Congress party spread. Confusion was created among the public. That is why we could not stop the local narrative. We kept fighting the elections saying that Modi ji has resolved to develop India…We kept asking for votes for a developed India and the Congress party kept lying. That is why we could not catch their narrative in the elections,” he added.
In 2014, the BJP had contested elections on 260 seats and registered victory on 122 seats in 2014 and 105 seats in 2019. BJP had emerged as the largest party in the state.
Voting for the assembly elections in Maharashtra will take place on November 20 and results will be announced on November 23, the Election Commission of India announced on Tuesday.
The term of Maharashtra Assembly will end on November 26. The state currently ruled by the Mahayuti government is led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
