Poor Ajit vote transfer let us down: Fadnavis
The Free Press Journal|September 27, 2024
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has attributed the BJP's setback in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to the inadequate vote transfer from Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

On Thursday, while participating in a media conclave, Fadnavis noted that the BJP's core voter base was initially uncomfortable about the alliance with the NCP, "though now, 80 per cent of voters understand the necessity of such political compromises".

"Sometimes, you have to make political compromises that go against your true beliefs, but you still go along with them. We have made such compromises," Fadnavis said.

The ruling coalition, consisting of the BJP, NCP, and CM Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, secured only 17 of the 48 seats in the state, with the BJP's tally falling from 23 in 2019 to just nine this time.
