Mumbai: After a decade on the political pavements, the Maharashtra Congress unexpectedly resurrected itself to emerge as the single largest party in the state, and with Maha Vikas Aghadi allies, crushed the ruling MahaYuti in the Lok Sabha 2024 results declared on Tuesday.
As per the latest trends/results for the 48 Lok Sabha constituencies officially available, the MVA has secured 29 seats, the MahaYuti bagged 18 and one went to a Congress rebel-turned-independent Vishal P. Patil in Sangli.
Among the two blocs, the MVA’s Congress has bagged 12, up from two in 2014 and one in 2019, Shiv Sena (UBT)’s 10, Nationalist Congress Party (SP)’s 7; and the MahaYuti’s Bharatiya Janata Party managed 11, Shiv Sena’s 6 and Nationalist Congress Party’s just one.
