Mumbai: BJP MLA Mukta Tilak, who is suffering from a serious illness, has been brought to the Vidhan Bhavan for voting. They were airlifted from Pune to Mumbai early in the morning. Not a single vote should be wasted in the Rajya Sabha elections, so the BJP seems to be making strenuous efforts. Soon Mukta Tilak will exercise his voting right.
Voting for the Rajya Sabha elections has started at 9 am today. So far (till 10.30 am) 143 MLAs have cast their votes. Shiv Sena and BJP are in a tug of war for the sixth position. Shiv Sena candidate Sanjay Pawar and BJP candidate Dhananjay Mahadik are in a tug of war. Therefore, Mahavikas Aghadi and Opposition BJP have fielded strongly.
On the backdrop of Rajya Sabha elections, BJP had kept all its MLAs in ‘Hotel Taj’. However, MLA Jagtap and MLA Tilak were not in the hotel due to illness. BJP planned to bring it in the legislature in the morning on polling day. Accordingly, Tilak and MLA Jagtap were brought into the legislature around 10.30 am. Mukta Tilak was brought to the legislature on a stretcher. He was accompanied by MLA Girish Mahajan.
Great curiosity about the outcome
The Rajya Sabha elections are being held today (Friday) after the arrest of MLAs, addition and subtraction of votes, allegations and allegations of victory. Statistics show that Mahavikas Aghadi has the upper hand in this election. Of course, since the political interpretation of mathematical figures is always different than expected, there is a great deal of curiosity in political circles about the outcome in the evening.
Will Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik abstain from voting?
Mahavikas Aghadi lost two votes as the court barred former minister Anil Deshmukh and detained minister Nawab Malik from voting. However, the quota for election of candidates has also been reduced due to this. With two more MLAs absent from the polls, the quota of 42 votes is likely to rise to 41. According to the leaders of the alliance, the greatest benefit of this possibility could be to the Mahavikas Aghadi. On the other hand, the BJP leaders say that it is more beneficial for us as the reduced votes are in the lead.
