For Bharatiya Janata Party, the election results in Maharashra and Haryana did not come out as expected. While the saffron party was hoping more than 200+ seats for BJP and Shiv Sena alliance in Maharasthra, the official trends are showing a lead for BJP in just 101 seats and Shiv Sena in 64 seats. So, out of 288 assembly segments, BJP+ is leading only in 165 seats.
Even though BJP-Shiv Sena alliance has crossed the halfway mark and is all set to form the government for second time, the numbers are little disappointing and unanticipated. There was no decline in performance of Shiv Sena, which won 63 seats in 2014, but BJP had to reduce from 122 seats to 101+ seats. So, Shiv Sena is now planning to take advantage of the numbers and seek Chief Minister post for 29-year old Aadithya Thackeray, who is all set to win his debut election from Worli constituency.
While the numbers are still coming out, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut spoke to media saying they would ask BJP for 50:50 power sharing in Maharashtra. “We will insist BJP to rotate the CM chair for two and half years and will make Aadithya Thackrey as Maharashtra CM in Shiv Sena’s tenure.”
