Maharashtra, but not the kind the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was expecting. The saffron party, which was talking of bagging more than 45 seats in the state, managed to get a lead in only 17 seats with the help of its allies- -the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar).

The results are a dramatic turn for the BJP which on its own had been getting 20-plus seats in the last two polls. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP had bagged 23 seats. This time, it had to be content with just 10, though counting remaining in a few seats.
The Maharashtra battle saw a tight contest in many seats, with the count going to the wire in several of them. The manner in which the BJP has faced a drubbing in the polls has caused jitters in the saffron camp, as Assembly polls are just a few months away.
