He specifically pointed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Nagpur on Tuesday, where the latter urged BJP workers to work towards increasing the party’s vote share by at least 10 per cent in order to ensure the Mahayuti alliance’s victory in the polls.On Shah’s appeal to his party workers, Tapase expressed confidence that the Mahayuti’s vote share would actually go down by 20 per cent.He argued that voters in the state are increasingly disillusioned with the BJP’s “power-hungry” approach.”The BJP has relied heavily on its central leaders to boost its electoral performance in Maharashtra, but the people of this state are no longer interested. They want accountability, development, jobs – which the Mahayuti has failed to give,” he said.There is a growing divide between the BJP and its allies in Maharashtra, Tapase said, adding that luring away the MLAs belonging to the parties led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar to forge an “unconstitutional alliance” in Maharashtra has not gone well with people.
