The Sena UBT has not only retained its fort but also reinforced its hold after the MVA won four of six constituencies in Mumbai. Meanwhile, after recounting votes, the EC declared that Ravindra Waikar of Shinde Sena won in North West by 48 votes, a single victory of the party in Mumbai. Uddhav Thackery announced that they will challenge the decision. Though the BJP retained the Mumbai North seat, the winning margin was lesser than that of the previous two elections. Congress managed a victory in one constituency in North Central.
BJP keeps Mumbai North
Piyush Goyal secured the safest seat for BJP in Maharashtra with over 5.5 lakh votes, a margin of 3.5 lakh votes. Historically, the BJP has held a firm grip on this Lok Sabha seat, with its stalwart Ram Naik securing a victory five times previously. In 2014 and 2019, BJP’s Gopal Shetty won the seat with a margin of over 4.5 lakh votes. Goyal had taken an early lead on Tuesday and kept it till the end, but could manifest it into a big win. The Congress’ Bhushan Patil got 2,42,778 votes.
“BJP has taken a lead of 2 lakh votes and it is a victory for PM Modi. I am thankful to voters of Mumbai North who showed faith in me and I will be ready in their service,” said Goyal after securing a lead.
