“76 lakh votes were polled from 5 pm to 11:30 pm (on November 20 in Maharashtra). What happened to these 76 lakh votes? Similarly, in Haryana, 14 lakh votes rose. This vote rise was the architect of Mahayuti’s victory,” Raut told reporters.He said the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi was studying the poll results and “technicalities” behind them.The Mahayuti won 230 out of 288 seats, including BJP bagging the maximum 132, restricting the tally of MVA, comprising Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP), to 46 seats.Raut clarified that the MVA stands united and rejected reports of any fissures in the opposition in view of the poll drubbing.”No one in the Maha Vikas Aghadi is talking about contesting polls independently. There is a difference between Lok Sabha and state assembly polls. A right decision will be taken at an appropriate time,” he said when asked if Shiv Sena (UBT) will contest the upcoming local bodies’ polls solo.Raut said Congress, NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray are engaged in a continuous dialogue.
