<ul><li>Chandrakant Bacchu Patil of BJP won with 101,943 votes at Kothrud near Pune.</li><li>He secured a vote share of 54% as per election commission website .</li><li>His closest competitor Kishor Nana Shinde of MNS has secured 76,696 votes.</li></ul>BJP's Chandrakant Bacchu Patil's fight to finish was nailbiting and curious. But it all ended well as he won at Kothrud in Pune, and also established a wide 25,000 vote margin over his MNS opponent Kishor Nana Shinde. Both the candidates fought the battle neck to neck for hours. But, by 4:46, Patil secured 101,943 votes while Nane managed 76,696 votes. Patil started with a 61% vote share at 10:46 am which was cut down to 52% in the next few hours as Shinde's votes spiked. Shah's mentee's career also mimicks that of the union home minister, who also entered the cabinet after he contested in 2014 elections. Patil’s victory is extremely important at the national level for BJP, as he is known to be the Amit Shah of Maharashtra. Not only is he the second most important person in the party in the state, it is also his first election. Patil is known to be Shah’s blue eyed boy and his eyes and ears in the state. The union home minister Amit Shah himself fielded him in the key Pune constituency. While doing so he has angered the strongest Pune Brahmin community as he overlooked a popular candidate of the community—Medha Kulkarni. Added to that, Patil does not hail from the Kothrud area, which became the poll campaign of Shinde who used the ‘outsider’ jibe at numerous speeches he gave. But he has the backing of big guns from BJP. Apart from Shah who campaigned extensively in the state, Modi himself addressed a rally in Pune, this election. Patil victory or loss will ruffle many feathers in the state due to his origins in the Maratha community. If he builds his political profile like his mentor Shah, he would probably challenge the supremacy of chief minister and state party leader—Devendra Fadnavis.

Budget has nothing for Maharashtra, says ruling alliance
(Eds: with additional quotes)
Mumbai, Feb 1 () The ruling Shiv Sena, NCP and
Congress on Saturday termed as "disappointing" the Union
budget, claiming that it did not offer much to the "highest
tax-payers" Mumbai and Maharashtra.
Opposition BJP in Maharashtra hailed the Budget 2020-
21, saying it strengthens the economy and makes provision for
the welfare of all.
"The budget has left Maharashtra and Mumbai the most
disappointed. Mumbai gives highest tax, Maharashtra gives
highest tax to the Centre, but they were completely ignored,"
Revenue Minister and state Congress chief Balasaheb Thorat
told reporters here.
The budget presented by Union finance minister Nirmala
Sitharaman was "old wine in new bottle", he said.
Thorat also questioned the Union government's claim
that farmers' income would be doubled by 2022.
The agricultural growth rate should be 11 per cent to
achieve this goal, while the current rate is not moving beyond
2 per cent, the Congress leader said.
NCP MP Supriya Sule said, "Sensex plunged when the
budget was being presented in the House. It shows the budget
makes no sense."
 The Budget has introduced new slabs and reduced the
income tax rate for different slabs for individual income of
up to Rs 15 lakh per annum, if a taxpayer opts for foregoing
exemptions and deductions.
Referring to it, Shiv Sena spokesperson Manisha
Kayande said there was no clarity about the option offered.
"Who would not like to get a tax benefit? If a person
is investing in LIC or mediclaim, why would the person not opt
for tax benefit? People basically make these investments for
tax benefit apart from getting insurance (cover). So there is
no clarity on this," she said.
The Sena leader also expressed concern over "closing
down" of government-owned enterprises like Air India.
"It is a major drawback. Plus, they are banking
completely on LIC. Almost 290 million people invest in LIC.
That means the government is eying public money," she added.
Water Resources Minister and NCP leader Jayant Patil
said the budget offers nothing to give a momentum to the
economy.
"Farmers too have got nothing from the budget...the
budget is mere 'jumlebaazi' (gimmick)," the former Maharashtra
finance minister said.
NCP spokesperson Mahesh Tapase accused the government
of "over-commitment and under-delivery" leading to loss of
faith of investors, industry and consumers.
Tapase said the current gross GDP figures do not
support the government's claim about the target of USD 5
trillion economy.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan said
the budget ignores the burning issue of unemployment and the
Union government was making no effort to increase purchasing
power of the poor and middle classes.
BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis
hailed the budget as "progressive and reform-oriented", saying
it lays the foundation of a "new India".
"The 2020 #JanJanKaBudget lays the foundation for the
journey of Bharat to Navbharat in this new decade, of an even
more developed and modern India with a greater speed ! Kisan
Rail, Krishi UDAN are path breaking steps for our farmers and
will fulfill the ASPIRATIONS of INDIA!" Fadnavis tweeted.
Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil said the
budget takes care of all sections of society including
farmers, women, the youth, tribals, traders, employed and
others in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Sab Ka
Sath, Sab Ka Vikas, Sab Ka Vishwas' (inclusive growth with the
trust of all) slogan. ENM NSK

Gujarat Lok Sabha Election Result 2019: BJP makes a clean sweep of all 26 seats

NEW DELHI: Reconciled to a near-inevitable break-up with <keyword id="6358821" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Shiv-Sena">Shiv Sena</keyword>, BJP on Sunday rolled out a plan to contest all 288 seats in Maharashtra along with its smaller allies. 
 The decision was taken by the party’s central election committee (CEC) after <keyword id="114039" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="BJP-chief">BJP chief</keyword> <keyword id="6355521" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Amit-Shah">Amit Shah</keyword> briefed Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> about the <keyword id="6394856" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sena">Sena</keyword>’s adamant posture on seat-sharing. The CEC also finalized candidates for all the seats. 
 <keyword id="6356617" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="bjp-leader">BJP leader</keyword> Rajiv Pratap Rudy said after the meeting, "Maharashtra seats were discussed at the CEC meeting. Most of the candidates have been decided upon, and party president Amit Shah will announce these names. The political situation in Maharashtra was also discussed, and it was decided that efforts to continue with the alliance will be on, and we would want it to continue in the same spirit that the partnership has been going on for so long in a mutually respectful manner." 
 
With the process of filing nominations for the October 15 assembly polls not expected to gather momentum before September 25 because of the ongoing ‘inauspicious period of pitru paksha,’ both parties are considering waiting for another 72 hours before taking a final decision on the crucial alliance. 
 
"There is time till ‘shradh’ (which ends on September 24) for the tug-of-war to go on," a senior BJP leader said. 
 
 
Senior BJP leaders from Maharashtra, who were in New Delhi on Sunday to attend the party’s Parliamentary board meeting, sought the central leadership’s go-ahead to snap poll ties. BJP also rejected Sena’s latest formula which Uddhav Thackeray spelt out at a party jamboree held in a Bandra auditorium on Sunday. Thackeray said Sena would contest 151 seats and leave 119 for BJP and 18 for junior allies.

"This is all that I have to offer to BJP. If they reject this, then I am left with no other alternative," Thackeray told Shiv Sainiks. This is Uddhav’s lump-it-or-leave-it ultimatum to BJP, said observers. Like the Maharashtra BJP, Sena has asked all its party units across the state to be prepared to contest polls on their own strength, sources said. 
 
In his 45-minute speech, Thackeray gave ample indications that he was willing to plan Sena’s future minus BJP. "I will undoubtedly feel sorry if the alliance breaks... But if you are going to treat us like a blade of grass then our tigers are ready (to go solo)," he said. 
 
 
 
 
Urging Shiv Sainiks to remain united and stand behind the party leadership, Thackeray said, "This is our battle for survival... This is our final test. We will succeed if providence is on our side... We will fail if fate is not in our favour... Don’t forget that Chhatrapati Shivaji was born in Maharashtra and he took on the mighty Mughal rulers." 
 
Talking to mediapersons in New Delhi, BJP leaders Eknath Khadse and Vinod Tawde summarily dismissed Sena’s formula. Khadse said his party was not ready for any more sacrifices for the Sena’s sake. Both he and Tawde made it clear that extracting more seats from Sena was their party’s top priority. "The Maharashtra BJP’s strike rate was 60% in 2009, while the Sena’s strike rate was 40%," Khadse pointed out. 
 
Stating that BJP had offered its Rajya Sabha seat from Maharashtra to RPI leader Ramdas Athavale in the larger interest of the ‘maha yuti’, Khadse expressed shock and dismay that the Sena was not willing to part with a couple of assembly seats as compensation.

Earlier in the day, hours after Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray's tough talk in Mumbai, BJP told its partner that it was the duty of both parties to continue the tie-up and sort out issues instead of going through the media, in remarks directed at the Sena chief. BJP also termed Thackeray's final offer to it as being “nothing new” as the party has been contesting on 119 seats ever since the partnership started 25 years ago. 
 
Tawde said Sena should accept BJP’s demand for re-allocation of assembly seats. "The number of seats which Sena lost in the last five elections is 59. We want these seats to be re-distributed," he stated. 
 
"The issue of seat-sharing issue can be sorted out mutually through face-to-face talks and not through media (TV)," Tawde added. 
 
Uddhav, too, used harsh words for the 25-year-old ally. Giving a lowdown on the seat-sharing talks, he said BJP’s Om Prakash Mathur came to him 10 days ago with the 135:135 formula. "I told him we should sit down and talk. We must iron out the issues between us. Mathur later came to see me with an offer of 145 seats... We will give you these many seats, he said. Who are they to give us?", he asked. 
 
Thackeray also referred to the 140:130 formula which state BJP president Devendra Fadnavis presented to him on Saturday. 
 
The thrust of Thackeray’s speech was that BJP was not ready to acknowledge Sena’s growing strength in Maharashtra and that Sena would not tolerate humiliation from its poll partner. "What is in our ‘naseeb’ (fate), no one can take away from us," he remarked. 
 
"We have respect for Narendra Modi. But he too was humiliated as a chaiwalla... Our Sainiks will assume power if Goddess Tulja Bhavani and Goddess Mahalakshmi bless them," he added. 
 
Recalling Sena-BJP’s halcyon days, Thackeray praised Pramod Mahajan and Gopinath Munde for leading the alliance. "Mahajan and Munde never stretched things too far. Our differences would never spiral out of control."

"I have no ego, no ambition. I have a high level of self-confidence… I want power in Maharashtra, not for any other reason but to accelerate Maharashtra’s development," said the Sena president. 
 
Senior Sena functionary Subhash Desai said there was no Modi wave in Maharashtra or elsewhere in the country. Why did the BJP lose heavily in recent by-elections if there was a Modi wave, Desai asked. 
 
Thackeray claimed Modi could continue as Gujarat CM after the Godhra episode because of Balasaheb Thackeray. "L K Advani had sought Balasaheb’s advice on whether to remove Modi as Gujarat CM following widespread clamour against him. Balasaheb told Advani to retain Modi, and described Modi as a ‘mard’ (brave man) and a ‘tiger’," Uddhav said. 
 
The smaller allies, meanwhile, gave a word of warning. Mahadeo Jankar of the Rashtriya Samaj Party asked the Sena-BJP to finalise the seat-sharing formula by Monday, failing which he and the Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana led by Raju Shetti would walk out of the alliance. 
 
"If the differences over seat-sharing are not resolved by tomorrow, I and Raju Shetti will contest all the 288 assembly seats jointly," Jankar told agencies. The two parties would contest 144 seats each, he said. 
 
Ramdas Athavale of the RPI demanded 20 seats for the smaller allies. "Out of the 20 seats, RPI should get 10, five each from the Sena and BJP," he said.
