Maha MLC polls: The Nagpur victory may play a key role to revive MVA's electoral fortune in the state as it a home to BJP stalwarts. However, the counting for the other 3 seats was underway and the final results will show the real picture of the state politics.
Eknath Shinde is considered to be a powerful leader in the Sena camp. He has influence in the Thane region and is often credited for Sena's expansion in other parts of Maharashtra.
Maharashtra BJP president Chandrakant Patil said his party has got nothing to do with political developments in the ruling Shiv Sena, whose minister Eknath Shinde has gone incommunicado along with some MLAs.
The two nominees of the Congress, which is part of the ruling coalition MVA, failed to secure the minimum quota of the first preference vote.
Counting of votes was held today for five of the six local bodies seats where biennial elections to the Maharashtra Legislative Council were held on Monday.
