Jammu, Nov 24: After managing to win only 6 out of 90 seats in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, the Congress suffered yet another drubbing in Maharashtra.
Out of 288 seats the Congress managed to get only 16 seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) candidates won 10 seats and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) got 20 seats. The constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi had to bite the dust while the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance crossed the majority mark comfortably.
According to the political analysts, the Congress will have to paya heavy price for its defeat in Maharashtra. “It won’t be able to put across its point even in J&K as the party failed to get even 10 seats in the Union Territory and the defeat in Maharashtra has made it clear that the Congress is not in a position to enter into any sort of negotiations with its alliance partners anywhere,” said an observer.
AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said that the assembly poll results in Maharashtra were ‘shocking’ and ‘unbelievable’.
