BJP-Sena alliance will win all 48 Maharashtra Lok Sabha seats in 2024: Amit Shah

KOLHAPUR: The BJP-Shiv Sena alliance will win all the 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra in 2024, Union home minister Amit Shah said Sunday in Kolhapur, while assailing Uddhav Thackeray that he was consumed by such greed to grab the CM’s chair that he took “Balasaheb Thackeray’s party to Sharad Pawar’s feet” after the 2019 state elections.
“Now that all the difficulties are over and the real Shiv Sena is with BJP, we will win all the Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena and BJP can once again prove that trickery can help one get power for only some time,” he told party workers.
The BJP-Sena alliance won the state’s 41 Lok Sabha seats in the April-May general elections of 2019, and took 161 seats (BJP 105 and Sena 56) in the assembly polls later that year. But the coalition broke as Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, joined ranks with NCP (54 seats) and Congress (44) to form the Maha Vikas Aghadi government that lasted 31 months before Shinde walked out of Sena, allied with BJP and became CM in June last year.
“Eknath Shinde became CM only because BJP was elected the single largest party in 2019,” Shah said.
