On the one hand the Mahayuti increased its vote share across all regions, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi saw its support decline across the State. The BJP alone got 132 seats of the 149 seats it constated, which is nearly a majority in the 288-strong Assembly, and the tally of the alliance is nearly five times that of the MVA which was limited to 46 seats for all its partners combined.
Among others, Samajwadi Party and Jan Surajya Shakti got two seats each, Rashtriya Yuva Swabhiman Party, Rashtriya Samaj Paksha, AIMIM, CPI(M), PWPI, Rajarshi Shahu Vikas Aghadi got one seat each, while Independents won two seats.

This is the biggest victory for any party or pre-poll alliance in over 50 years. This is the third time a BJP-led alliance has been chosen by the people of Maharashtra.
As rightly said by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, this massive victory of the Mahayuti in Maharashtra was undoubtedly the triumph of development, good governance, and genuine social justice. Similarly, the forces of deception, divisive politics, and family dynasty have been defeated and decimated.
Undoubtedly, the historic third consecutive victory of the Mahayuti alliance is a reflection of the unwavering faith of the people on the public welfare policies and good governance of the double engine government under the visionary and charismatic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
