The Maharashtra assembly election results reveal a commanding lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, signalling a decisive victory. As the numbers roll in, celebrations have erupted in Mahayuti strongholds, while a tense silence looms over Matoshree, the residence of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray.

Early trends indicate the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance struggling to keep pace, with key constituencies slipping from their grasp. Senior MVA leaders have hinted at accepting the public mandate, as internal discussions begin on the road ahead for the coalition.

00:00Well, I am right outside Matosri. I thought that this is going to be the place where I'll
00:04see the most of the excitement. But with the results coming in and the kind of leads that
00:11BJP is getting, especially BJP is getting, is quite disappointing for people over here
00:16at Matosri in Kalanagar. You'll see the policemen, but we don't see any of the supporters, karikartas.
00:23We were just speaking with the policemen over here and they were saying that we might see
00:27some people coming in after 11 o'clock. However, at the moment, what do you see in Kalanagar,
00:33right outside Matosri, despite Aditya Thackeray winning, but the party is not really performing
00:39well in that manner that they will be happy or they will be cheering or you'll see the
00:44people coming in, the supporters coming in. So, this is the situation right here at Matosri
00:49and let me tell you that this area, Kalanagar, as the fight about Adani or the issue of Adani
00:56has been discussed, this area especially is, it will give you an idea that how ironic
01:02or symbolic this victory of BJP could be. Here, right here is the Kalanagar, the house
01:09of Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray and now I'll ask my camera person to just turn his camera
01:16and show this huge tower which is in the process of getting built. This is Adani's construction.
01:24You see a big Adani name. So, this is the ironical relation that I'm trying to tell
01:31you that how the current trends of the results are showing and it is for Mumbai, it is for
01:39Maharashtra if BJP comes out as the biggest party, the largest party in this assembly
01:46and BJP is already ahead on multiple seats, at least 50 seats. So, we'll see what all
01:52happens and how the drama unfolds but this comparison, I think, perfectly fits in what
01:59is really happening in Maharashtra right now with the current trends right now.
