Mahayuti's Mission 45-plus bites dust

In a tightly contested Lok Sabha election, the Maha Vikas Aghadi has outsmarted the Mahayuti in Maharashtra. The Mahayuti, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP, miserably failed to create magic riding on Modi's guarantee and achieve its much-touted Mission 45-plus.

On the other hand, the MVA-consisting of the Shiv Sena, NCP-SP and Congress was able to rightly gauge the growing voter discontent against the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre and the Mahayuti in the state, and succeeded in w winning more seats. The Mahayuti was routed in Vidarbha, Marathwada and Mumbai, while the MVA reported a performance in stellar these regions.
