4pm News Network: Voting for the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections ended on Wednesday…. And your results will arrive on Saturday…. But before this, the figures from all the exit polls are also coming out…. Most exit polls have shown a close race…. Let us tell you that to win in the 288-seat Maharashtra Assembly, 145 seats are needed. While in the Jharkhand Assembly, which has eighty-one seats, the majority figure is forty-one seats. According to the Election Commission, till 5 pm in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, 58.22 per cent…. And until five in the afternoon, in the Jharkhand elections, sixty-three point five nine percent voted…. Let us tell you that the Lok Sabha election results were a big boon for Rahul Gandhi. If Rahul Gandhi, who had stepped down as Congress president after the 2019 defeat, decided to become leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, the reason was the electoral success of 2024. And Rahul Gandhi did not get this success thanks to his hard personal work or just thanks to Congress…. Rather, it was under the banner of INDIA alliance… If seen, Akhilesh Yadav was the most successful…. And when it is mentioned, Mamata Banerjee will also be considered…. According to Rahul Gandhi, the difference was that Akhilesh Yadav was completely with him…. And Mamata Banerjee was not completely against it….
Let us tell you that these were the Lok Sabha election results, so as soon as Rahul Gandhi became leader of the opposition, he started roaring in the Lok Sabha that he would defeat the BJP even by going to Gujarat. Not that Rahul Gandhi didn’t roar earlier… but the difference in body language was clearly visible…. After becoming the opposition leader, Rahul Gandhi’s confidence level was worth seeing… but before that only hesitation or should we say attitude was visible… This is what happens when people support you …At the same time, according to the exit poll, it seems that not only Maharashtra and Jharkhand…. The BJP will also take the lead in Uttar Pradesh…. This is also bad news for other opposition parties… But only Rahul Gandhi must be feeling the worst… This was the success of Congress in the Lok Sabha elections… because Rahul Gandhi started contesting in political activities more actively than before…. The changes were also visible in Rahul Gandhi’s politics.
Unlike before, now he is not abandoning the election campaign halfway and going on a trip abroad…. They are becoming more interested than before in electoral preparations… and they are also avoiding meetings with alliance partners…. It doesn’t seem like it now… But mistakes are being made somewhere… The Haryana Assembly elections were very difficult elections for the BJP… But the BJP did not allow the Congress to contest… This It is the same BJP that failed in the Lok Sabha elections…, and could not even get the majority on its own…. The NDA government is in the center since 2014… But in both the elections, the BJP won majority on its own. This is the first time that the BJP is completely dependent on Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP and Nitish Kumar’s JDU to remain in power.
Let us tell you that seeing the weakness of the BJP, Rahul Gandhi began to feel that it would be difficult for the BJP government formed for the third consecutive time under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to complete its term. Or it is also possible that if Naidu or Nitish change their mind, India Block will also get a chance to form the government. But the BJP seems to be moving forward quickly… And seems to be taking a soft stance towards Mamata Banerjee…. You want to keep the option open…. If Naidu and Nitish change their minds, then someone will need to take charge. Only he who gives support from outside is good. At the same time, it is true that Rahul Gandhi does not let any opportunity slip away against the BJP…. Rahul Gandhi also raised the issue of Sharad Pawar, Ajit Pawar and Amit Shah meeting in Delhi with well-known businessman Gautam Adani. And Rahul Gandhi also explained the meaning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s latest slogan ‘Ek hain toh safe hain’ in his own way…and added the Adani factor too…
But was this enough to win the Maharashtra elections? The Jharkhand elections were also important for Rahul Gandhi. But compared to that, the turnout in Maharashtra was higher…. Due to its better results in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress was also a candidate for the post of Chief Minister in Maharashtra. But Maharashtra has also faced the same shock as Haryana. Right now it seems this way from the results of the exit poll…. Lok Sabha election results show that INDIA alliance remaining strong on the ground is like a mutually beneficial plan which is effective for Congress…. Congress is not only benefiting from the alliance…regional parties are also benefiting from Congress…This has been seen in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh and also in the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir . But one thing is also understood: Congress is not capable of properly following the dharma of the coalition…
Let us tell you that Aam Aadmi Party winning an assembly seat in Jammu and Kashmir may be a matter of luck…. But she has also done this in Gujarat and Goa…. After Delhi, Congress has wrested power from Punjab. In such a situation, the Congress will have to understand the importance of not only the Aam Aadmi Party but all allies… The Congress will especially have to understand the importance of regional parties. Had Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav not got support from UP, it would hardly have been possible for the Congress to retain Rae Bareli and return to Amethi. Not only finalizing the electoral alliance, but managing it is also very important. In Jammu and Kashmir, Rahul Gandhi made an alliance with Mallikarjun Kharge…. But I couldn’t stand it. A similar example has been seen in Haryana and the UP by-elections. And the Delhi Assembly elections are the latest example….
Let us tell you that in the Haryana elections, there was news about the Aam Aadmi Party that the Congress was not even giving it the seats of its choice. That is why the alliance could not be formed. Akhilesh Yadav did not even get seats in the alliance…. And the Congress had to pay the price for that in the UP by-elections…. Everywhere people applaud with both hands. But it is also important which side you extend your hand on… And who backs down? From Rahul Gandhi’s statements on the ideology of regional parties, it seems that he too looks down on those leaders…. And the regional party leaders have also given a very strong reaction to such things from Rahul Gandhi… If you look closely, Rahul Gandhi had started saying in Parliament that he will defeat the BJP if he comes to Gujarat… But failed in Haryana itself. Considering there was a big chance of defeating the BJP…. He made an alliance with Omar Abdullah in Jammu and Kashmir, but did not join the Congress cabinet…. Now it doesn’t even look like the Congress is part of the ruling coalition….
Rahul Gandhi should now seriously think about where the mistake occurred…. And it is happening… Everyone rejected Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra and in the Mahavikas Aghadi itself… In fact, all the alliance partners were considering the Chief Minister’s post… We fought the Lok Sabha elections together…. But the Chief Minister has problems regarding his face… and the exit polls also indicate the same… Now there is no need for Uddhav Thackeray to remain in the opposition camp. The thing for which he had left BJP…. If they don’t find him, what will Uddhav Thackeray do staying together? Even if I don’t get the Chief Minister’s post… But I will be happier with BJP…. And if this happens then it will not be good for Rahul Gandhi….
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut’s reaction has come…. And he said I’m sure we’re winning between 166 and 165 seats. We and our friends together are hitting the majority mark…. All these leaders will sit and decide whether the MVA government will be formed and who will be the Chief Minister. On Congress’ claim that Nana Patole is the face of the CM, Raut said if so, then Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge should come forward and declare the name of the CM. And he said that the government will be formed with the old majority of the MVA, which will last five years…. What to do with the independents and small parties…, we will see after the election results…. Today and tomorrow we have two days…. We will discuss the possible consequences….
