Maha shock for Cong-NCP as it loses 42 of 48 seats

Adarsh-Tainted Chavan Among Congres’s Only 2 Winners
The BJP-Shiv Sena combine trounced the ruling Congres-NCP in Maharashtra, conceding only two seats to the Congres and four to Sharad Pawar’s NCP out of a total of 48 in the state.
The score was 6-0 in Mumbai, which had been swept by Congres-NCP in 2009.
The results sparked concerns in the Congres-NCP camp about the assembly polls due in October, with the BJP-Shiv Sena can expect to enjoy a huge advantage.
The Shiv Sena won 18 out of 22 seats it contested, while the BJP secured 23 out of the 26 it fought. The two Congresmen who won were Ashok Chavan (Nanded), who had to quit as CM after the Adarsh scam came to light, and Youth Congres president Rajeev Satao from Hingoli. People from all four regions of the state — Vidarbha, Marathwada, Kon
kan and northern Maharashtra — voted against the Congres-NCP.
Congres-NCP leaders blamed the UPA-2’s ‘anti-people decisions’ for the defeat.
They said corruption, failure to check inflation, bad governance and delay at the state level in taking even routine decisions were responsible for the rout.
The failure of the Raj Thackeray-led MNS to split votes like it had in 2009 was also seen as a reason for the Congres-NCP’s poor performance. Congres leaders felt the combine also ignored youngsters.
A Congres minister said the state government also did not take adequate steps to deal with the acute shortage of power and ignored anti-graft protests across the state. An NCP minister said the builders’ lobby worked against the secular forces.
The BJP wave swept away heavyweights like Union ministers Sushilkumar Shinde and Praful Patel, and state PWD minister Chhagan Bhujbal. AICC general secretary Mukul Wasnik and social welfare minister Shiva-jirao Moghe were also defeated.

BJP-Sena deliver knock-out punch to Cong-NCP combine
AS BJP-LED NDA SWATS ASIDE ANY KIND OF OPPOSITION ACROSS INDIA, TWO METROPOLISES HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY
Saffron friends BJP and Shiv Sena once again knocked “secular” allies Congress and NCP out of the Lok Sabha ring in the city.
All six seats within the city limits were returned to the saffron alliance. It was a clean and clear mandate as, unlike quite a few constituencies in the state, the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi of Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh chief Prakash Ambedkar and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi cannot be said to have contributed to the Congress-NCP losses here.
Though it was a general election, the numerous infrastructure projects undertaken by the state government, from metro projects and the coastal road to the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and superhighways, contributed to BJP’s positive image.
Even businessman Mukesh Ambani’s endorsement of Congress candidate Milind Deora failed to work. Despite demonetisation and opposition to GST by the sizeable trader community in the financial capital, the city wholeheartedly backed Narendra Modi.
BJP’s emphasis on housing for all also worked in its favour. Its alliance with Shiv Sena kept the Hindu vote intact. If the vast grassroot network of Shiv Sena in the city aided BJP, it also cannot be denied that Shiv Sena candidates owed their victory to Modi’s pull among North Indians and Gujaratis.
