Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that the BJP’s “use and throw” policy had dearly cost them in the bypolls. “Despite the ruling BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena making use of every device to defeat Ravindra Dhangekar, he emerged triumphant and MVA won in a seat that had been the BJP’s stronghold for the last 28 years. Rahul Kalate (of the Thackeray Sena) had not contested as an Independent, thus splitting votes and undercutting chances of Mr. A message has gone out in Maharashtra that if the three parties fight together and the seat-sharing is done properly, then nothing can stop the MVA from gaining success in future elections in Maharashtra.
