The recent Maharashtra Panchayats polls had given the clear indication of a change in the political game.

The sources have also claimed that the results have helped regain the lost prestige for former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Narayan Rane.

In the election, BJP won just 5 seats while the congress got 21 seats and Shiv Sena and NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) won 20 seats each. The election of six Nagar Panchayats held in Maharashtra on Sunday polling for total 102 seats and the results were declared on Monday.

The results have also helped regain the lost prestige for former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Narayan Rane, who had lost the 2014 Assembly polls and 2015 Bandra Assembly by-polls, as Congress managed to win the Kudal Nagar panchayats in coastal Konkan, Rane’s home turf.

Kudal Nagar panchayat results are significant as Congress, led by Rane, won nine seats in the 17-seat body by restricting BJP to just one seat. Shiv Sena stood second by winning six seats. Sena and BJP had put their weight around by senior leaders, including Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, in the campaign.

After the state government formed 138 new Nagar panchayats in 2014 by bifurcating urban areas at taluka headquarters, this was the second phase of election for 102 seats after the first round of 345 seats in 19 Nagar panchayats in January this year.

In Lohara Nagar Panchayat in Osmanabad, Shiv Sena won highest seats (9), followed by NCP (4) and Congress (3) while BJP could not win even a single seat. Mohol and Madha Nagar panchayats in Solapur saw Shiv Sena and NCP faring better over BJP. NCP won eight seats in Lonand Nagar panchayat in Satara followed by Congress which won six seats while BJP was restricted to just two of total 17 seats.

The above results give the clear indication of a change in the political scenario in Maharashtra and this may also spread in the other BJP ruled states. The recently held CCP polls in Panaji have shown the similar signs of a change of political scenario the Goan politics. Only the time will tell which way people’s mandate will go.
