Maharashtra Politics: BJP has won 133 seats in Maharashtra Assembly elections. By contesting only 148 seats, BJP has won almost 90 percent of the seats and this is the biggest success of BJP in the politics of Maharashtra. The organization and hard work of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is also believed to be a reason behind this. Meanwhile, RSS and BJP have also intensified preparations for local self-government elections.
RSS also agrees on this issue
Party strategists believe that local Swaraj elections should be fought alone. So that it can show its strength against Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction). RSS people are also of the opinion that BJP should contest the local Swaraj elections alone.
According to strategists, contesting local elections alone will help BJP reach the grassroots level. Apart from this, he will also be able to assess his strength in various cities including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur. Apart from BJP, other parties are also in favor of fighting alone.
