Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 24 : Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC stressed the chemistry of the leadership trio of Mahayuti government in Maharashtra on Sunday as the alliance sweeped the state assembly elections.
Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Shaina NC said that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar have the "absolute chemistry" of working towards the 'Vikshit Maharashtra' (developed Maharashtra).
Referring to the poll results, Shaina NC termed the alliance's strike rate of performance as "phenomenal."
"Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar have the absolute chemistry of working towards the 'Vikshit Maharashtra' and in that sense it is the history which have been created, the strike rate of BJP, Shiv Sena have been close to 70-80 per cent, which is phenomenal... and I am sure in the days to come it will only be a developmental agenda," she said.
Shaina NC, who lost to Congress' Amin Patel in Mumba Devi, further expressed gratitude to the voters of the constituency, saying that the number of votes she received was the highest a Shiv Sena-BJP candidate has ever received from the constituency.
"I want to thank the voters of Mumba Devi for giving me 40,150 votes which has been the highest any candidate from Shiv Sena has ever got. I would also like to tell those who did not vote to please consider voting for progress and development as we have seen the injustice done to this area in the last 15 years. The kind of victory that Mahayuti has seen in Maharashtra is a tsunami of political performance," she said.
