Raj Thackeray is tense after the crushing defeat, MNS's recognition may be cancelled

Maharashtra Election: The crushing defeat of Raj Thackeray's party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), in the Maharashtra assembly elections has raised many questions about his political position. The party not only failed to win a single seat, but is also in danger of being de-recognised under the Election Commission rules. According to political experts, if a party does not win a single assembly seat or 8 per cent vote share in the elections, the Election Commission can de-recognise it, and this time MNS could not fulfil both these criteria.

Raj Thackeray's crisis: Threat of de-recognition from Election Commission

There is a discussion in the corridors of politics regarding the electoral performance of MNS in Maharashtra that the Election Commission may de-recognise Raj Thackeray's party. This will depend on how many votes MNS has got in the assembly elections and whether the party has won at least one seat. According to the rules of the Election Commission, it is mandatory for the party to win at least one seat or 8 percent of the votes, but MNS managed to win only 1.55 percent of the votes, which further increases the party's difficulties.

Raj Thackeray's family also failed in the election

This election proved to be a big setback for Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray as well. He contested from Mahim assembly seat, but he had to face a crushing defeat. Amit Thackeray came third on this seat and could garner only 33,062 votes. On the other hand, Uddhav faction leader Mahesh Savat defeated him, and Ajit faction leader Sada Sarwankar also remained ahead of him. This defeat made it clear that MNS could not save not only its strength but also the reputation of the Thackeray family.

Position of other parties in Maharashtra elections

In this assembly election in Maharashtra, Mahayuti (BJP and allies) has got a tremendous victory. The BJP performed a historic performance with 132 seats, while Shinde faction's Shiv Sena got 57 and Ajit faction's NCP got 41 seats. The NDA alliance won a total of 230 seats. In comparison, the Mahavikas Aghadi (UBT) got only 46 seats, with Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena getting 20, Congress 16 and Sharad Pawar's NCP 10 seats. Other parties and independents won the remaining 12 seats.

Raj Thackeray's meeting: Discussion on strategy

After the defeat in the Maharashtra assembly elections, there is an atmosphere of concern over the position of Raj Thackeray. Amidst this tension, he has called a meeting of party leaders at his house today. In this meeting, the election results can be reviewed and further strategy can be discussed. Raj Thackeray is now facing serious questions regarding the defeat of MNS and the subsequent political scenario, and in such a situation many questions are being raised about the future of the party.

Conclusion

This election has proved to be a big setback for Raj Thackeray not only personally but also for the future of the party. The crisis of derecognition and the party's poor electoral performance have made his political situation difficult. In the coming days, Raj Thackeray will have to work on strategies to overcome this crisis and strengthen the party afresh. At the same time, the unprecedented victory of BJP in Maharashtra has made it clear that the dominance of BJP and Shinde faction's Shiv Sena has now become stronger in the state politics.
