The ruling Mahayuti alliance of the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP faced internal tension after the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi secured three of the five Maharashtra Legislative Council seats contested on October 23, with results declared on October 28.
The opposition victories included the Nagpur Graduates' constituency, a traditional BJP stronghold, while the BJP won the Pune Teachers' seat and Shiv Sena retained the Amravati Teachers' seat; the remaining seats were split between the NCP and Congress, prompting criticism among alliance partners over candidate selection and campaign support.
