Maharashtra Election Results updates: PM Modi says 'ek hain toh safe hain' after massive victory

Mixed bag for MVA, Mahayuti in Muslim-dominated seats

It was a mixed bag for 11 seats with more than 35 per cent Muslim voters, where six candidates of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) emerged victorious in the Maharashtra Assembly polls on Saturday, while four seats went to the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance.

The Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehad Muslimeen (AIMIM), which is not aligned with either of the coalitions, won its lone seat -- Malegaon Central -- as Mufti Mohammed Khalique polled 1,09,653 votes to emerge victorious by a slender margin of 162 votes against Asif Shaikh Rashid of a local outfit -- Indian Secular Largest Assembly of Maharashtra.

The Malegaon Central Assembly segment has more than 78 per cent Muslim voters. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had not fielded a candidate here, while Congress nominee Ejaz Baig secured 7,527 votes.

Abu Asim Azmi of the Samajwadi Party (SP) polled 54,780 votes to win the Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar seat by a margin of 12,753 votes against his nearest rival, Ateeque Ahmad Khan of the AIMIM.

Ajit Pawar-led NCP's Nawab Malik, whose candidature appeared to upset the BJP-led Mahayuti, stood a distant fourth. Shiv Sena candidate Suresh Patil occupied the third position with 35,263 votes. The Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar seat has 53 per cent Muslim voters.

Maharashtra election has exposed the double face of INDI-Aghadi, says PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi says, "This Maharashtra election has exposed the double face of the INDI-Aghadi...The Congress leadership has constantly insulted Veer Savarkar across the country. They have even abused him. To get votes in Maharashtra, these people temporarily stopped abusing him. But not even once have they spoken the truth about Savarkar's sacrifice and this shows their double face. Their only motive is to defame Veer Savarkar."

Congress made laws for appeasement, says PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi says, "Congress made laws for appeasement. They did not even care about the Supreme Court's order. An example of this is the Waqf Board. The people of Delhi will be surprised. The situation was that before leaving the government in 2014, these people had handed over many properties of Delhi and surrounding areas to the Waqf Board. There is no place for Waqf law in the Constitution given to us by Babasaheb Ambedkar, but the Congress did this to increase its vote bank..."
