Fadnavis said- BJP cannot win single-handedly in Maharashtra, vote jihad took place in the state during the Lok Sabha elections.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said on October 27 that we have to be practical about the ground reality. BJP may not win Maharashtra elections single handedly, but it is also true that we have the highest number of seats and the highest voting percentage. BJP will become the largest party in the state after the elections.
