According to the Maharashtra Election Commission website, as of writing the news, the Mahayuti alliance is leading with 149 seats. That is to say, going by the trends so far, Mahayuti seems to have a chance of forming the government in Maharashtra. Obviously, those Mahayuti strategies will now be discussed and what are the reasons why the alliance seems to be returning to the government once again, while along with the anti-governance, the BJP was also accused of breaking with the Shiv Sena and the NCP. The Maratha movement also ruined Mahayuti’s work. But how did this alliance manage to address all these problems? Let’s see.
1- Keeping Shinde as CM worked
By appointing Eknath Shinde CM, the Bharatiya Janata Party had made such a mistake that the MVA seemed to be on all fours. The reason for this was that Shinde is BJP’s strategy of cashing in on Maratha pride. The BJP also kept giving the message from time to time that Eknath Shinde can become Chief Minister again. MVA was very happy with Jaranger Patil’s Maratha movement but due to this strategy of BJP it could not benefit. Shinde also played an important role in weakening the second Shiv Sena (UBT). The common Mumbaikar considered the Shinde as a symbol of Maratha respect. For them, the Thackeray family became an outsider.
2- Sisters program and social welfare programs
The strategy of implementing the Girl Sister Plan worked. The general public feels that thanks to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, money has started reaching their accounts every month. If he becomes CM again, he will get even more money. Women from households of many central MVA voters voted for Mahayuti because money started arriving in their accounts. Similarly, removing toll at many toll plazas a few days before the election announcement was also effective.
3-He managed to appease both Hindus and Muslims
The alliance resorted to polarizing Hindu votes by saying, “If we divide, we will be cut off” and “Ek hain toh saath hain.” On the other hand, by supporting the NCP Muslim candidate, he also showed that he is not against it. Muslims. Just before the elections, the Eknath Shinde government had given this message to the alliance by increasing the salaries of madrasa teachers. In this way, the NCP and Shinde Shiv Sena also seem to be getting plenty of Muslim votes.
The new strategy of the 4-BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party gave importance to local politics in its strategy from the beginning. Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not receive much publicity in Haryana and the same strategy was repeated here too. Local leaders appeared in the campaign. This time, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis organized the largest number of rallies and meetings in Maharashtra.
5. Sangh and BJP collaboration has become deadly for MVA.
To improve relations with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh he also worked for the BJP. Sangh workers took the BJP’s message to every home. The Sangh people reached door to door and asked the public to learn from the Lok Sabha election results and unite and vote for the BJP-led alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. In the pamphlet, people were told about land jihad, love jihad, conversion, stoning and riots, etc.
