Shiv Sena candidate Sanjay Nirupam expressed confidence in his victory and said, “I am fully confident that I will emerge victorious.”

Maharashtra: Sanjay Nirupam, the Shiv Sena contender for the Dindoshi Assembly seat, displayed confidence in his win on Saturday, declaring, “I am confident that I will emerge victorious.” He went to the well-known Shree Siddhivinayak Temple and prayed there. Nirupam confirmed to reporters here that Mahayuti would lead the state’s administration.

“I’ve come here to ask for Shree Siddhivinayak’s blessings. With his blessings, I have no doubt that I shall prevail. Like me, the Shiv Sena, BJP, and Ajit Pawar’s party candidates will win, and Mahayuti will once again form the Maharashtra government,” Nirupam said.

Mahesh Sawant, the head of the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the contender for the Mahim Assembly seat, also paid a visit to Mumbai’s Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati temple, stating, “I have come here to take blessings.”

The results of the by-elections in 15 states and the Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly Elections were counted at 8 a.m. on Saturday. Trends are anticipated to emerge in the first few hours of the counting, which will determine the outcome of the 288 seats in Maharashtra and the 81 in Jharkhand.

Shaina NC, a Shiv Sena candidate from the Mumba Devi assembly seat, visited the Shree Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai earlier today and offered prayers just before the assembly vote counting began.

Speaking with confidence, Shaina NC said that she thinks she would win due to the support she had from the Mumba Devi community.

“One thing is clear from the way that Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar have worked over the past two and a half years: people have voted based on their work,” she told ANI. It will be a hat trick today, making it history. While many individuals engage in appeasement politics and negative politics, we are focused on positivity. With Maa Mumba Devi’s grace, I can claim that history will be made. The constituency has not developed in the last 15 years, so we have come to work and made progress. The Chief Minister’s Ladki Behen Yojana has undoubtedly helped, but there is still more work to be done. Because of the affection I have gotten from the Mumba Devi audience, I am certain that I will win.

Over 66% of voters turned out to vote in Maharashtra’s Legislative Assembly polls on Wednesday, which is higher than the 61% turnout in the 2019 elections. The MVA coalition, which consists of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP), is a fierce rival to the Mahayuti alliance, which consists of the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP. The higher voter participation is seen by both coalitions as an indication of support for their respective campaigns.

The MVA, which consists of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP), is in a bitter struggle with the Mahayuti alliance, which is made up of the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, in Maharashtra.

In contrast to the almost 61% turnout in the 2019 assembly elections, 66.05% of voters turned out to vote in Wednesday’s polling for the 288-member Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The higher voting participation is seen favorably by both Mahayuti and MVA leaders for their respective coalitions.
