Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena Expects Victory in Vidarbha
Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leader Raju Waghmare expressed confidence in the Maha Yuti alliance's victory in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, particularly in the Vidarbha region. He criticized the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for lacking leadership and agenda, highlighting internal tensions within the Congress party.
"All five Maha Yuti candidates will win from the Vidarbha region," Waghmare asserted. "The atmosphere has changed entirely. The Maha Vikas Aghadi has no leadership or agenda. There is a lot of tension within the Congress. The party is completely hollowed out, and people know what will happen if they vote for them."
He emphasized the voters' strong faith in the Maha Yuti, predicting a significant victory margin in all five Vidarbha seats.
