Mumbai: Voting for 10 seats in the state Legislative Council started at 9 am and so far more than 100 MLAs have exercised their voting right. BJP and Mahavikas Aghadi are claiming victory by targeting each other. However, as 11 candidates are in the fray for 10 seats, one candidate will be defeated. Similarly, the BJP MP has tweeted indicatively and has directly targeted Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Anil Bonde has claimed that one of the candidates of Mahavikas Aghadi will be defeated. Anil Bonde tweeted:
Anil Bonde’s warning to whom?
Bhai Jagtap, the second Congress candidate in the Assembly elections, was rumored to be in danger. Because the Congress has 42 votes of its own and for the second candidate they need to match an additional 10 votes. On the other hand, the BJP was said to have devised a strategy to defeat NCP candidate Eknath Khadse alias Nathabhau.
However, news has come out that Shiv Sena will give some of its votes to the Congress candidate. Against this backdrop, Anil Bonde has suggested in his tweet that only Shiv Sena candidate Amsha Padvi will be in danger. Meanwhile, Anil Bonde had won the recent Rajya Sabha elections. In the sixth seat of the Rajya Sabha, Mahavikas had suffered a humiliating defeat. After that, it will be interesting to see the result of the Legislative Council elections.
