Maharashtra Results 2024: Voters Weigh Hindutva Against Vikas in BJP Win, Shinde or Fadnavis as CM?

As the BJP celebrates its victory in Maharashtra, voters have spoken loud and clear about what drove the win. Was it the party’s focus on Hindutva, or the emphasis on development (Vikas)? With the outcome favouring the BJP, the question now remains: who will take the reins as Chief Minister – Eknath Shinde, the current leader, or Devendra Fadnavis, the former CM with a significant political presence? The dynamic between Hindutva and Vikas played a crucial role in shaping the electorate’s decision, with many voters citing these two factors as central to their choice. As Maharashtra's political landscape shifts, the future of its leadership hangs in the balance. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.344~
