Mumbai: NCP president Sharad Pawar has convened a meeting of his party’s leaders and lawmakers to take stock of the political situation in Maharashtra after the NCP-Congress combine’s poor showing in the just held Lok Sabha elections.
The NCP-Congress combine bagged only five of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra where the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance’s tally stood at an impressive 41.
The NCP bagged four Lok Sabha seats and the Congress just one. An independent candidate supported by the Sharad Pawar-led party also won.
The Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Agadhi (VBA) garnered nearly 14.6 per cent votes and appears to have played a key role in the defeat of Congress-NCP candidates in eight to 10 seats.
After the Lok Sabha polls, Maharashtra is gearing up for the assembly elections slated before the year-end.
