How can Mahayuti win over 200 seats? Sanjay Raut cries foul over Maharashtra mandate
Mumbai/IBNS: Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray camp) leader Sanjay Raut has refused to accept the probable defeat of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the Maharashtra assembly elections expressing a surprise over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Mahayuti's resounding performance.
Raut cried foul after the election results showed the Mahayuti is poised for a landslide victory over MVA.
Speaking to reporters, Raut said, "They have done a conspiracy. They have stolen four-five seats from us. The BJP conspired to ensure that no Leader of Opposition exists in the assembly. This has remained its strategy... They used money power in every assembly segment."
"How can a party get more than 200 seats? This result has turned people into betrayers but I want to make it clear that the voters are not betrayers," he said and added, "We don't accept this mandate. We are even sure that people would also not accept the mandate. This can't be the people's mandate."

As per the trends, the Mahayuti [BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) and Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar)] is leading in over 200 out of 288 seats as opposed to around 60 of the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi.
If the figures hold, the Mahayuti will have a political comeback in Maharashtra where the ruling coalition suffered a jolt in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The elections were held on November 20.
