Grand Alliance PC
At Mahayuti PC in Mumbai, NCP leader Ajit Pawar thanked the people of Maharashtra for the victory and said the people have supported us for development. The workers have worked very hard. He said that dear sister turned out to be a game changer. We had a big defeat in the Lok Sabha. We accepted this defeat and made corrections.
I have never seen such a huge majority – Ajit Pawar
Ajit Pawar further said that since I have been in politics, I have never seen such a big majority in any alliance. Now, if there is defeat, the opposition talks about ballot papers, but why didn’t they say so during the Lok Sabha elections? We have lost in Jharkhand.
We bow before the public: Fadnavis
