Maharashtra, Jharkhand Assembly Election Results 2024 Highlights: The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance routed the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, registering a landslide victory in Maharashtra, while the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led INDIA bloc swept the polls in Jharkhand in the Assembly Election results which were declared on Saturday.
The BJP powered Mahayuti coalition to victory in Maharashtra, the saffron party winning 132 seats, as the alliance secured 235 of the 288 assembly seats in the state. “The biggest message from Maharashtra after the Haryana polls is unity; ‘ek hain to safe hain’ has become the country’s ‘mahamantra’,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his congratulatory message on BJP and its partners’ overwhelming victory in Maharashtra.
