The results of Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections as well as by-elections held on two Lok Sabha seats and 48 assembly seats in dozens of different states are shocking. These election results are a clear indication that while the voters have enthralled the political wisdom by giving it grace, they have completely defeated the political ego and brought it to the ground. This means that mutual conflict has been completely rejected.
To put it bluntly, the voters have given Maharashtra’s BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis along with his associates and Jharkhand’s JMM leader and Chief Minister Hemant Soren along with his associates the opportunity to pursue their respective politics afresh.

At the same time, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, NCP Sharad Pawar leader Sharad Pawar/Supriya Sule, Shiv Sena UTB leader Uddhav Bhau Thackeray, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav etc. have been given a big blow, because among them The voters sensed the lack of proper coordination in time and gave results contrary to their expectations.
However, the public has saved the honor of Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. At the same time, the competition between AAP and Congress has once again come to the fore in Punjab, which will also be visible in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. At the same time, by giving victory to Congress leader and Lok Sabha by-election candidate of Wayanad, Kerala, Priyanka Gandhi, her political path has been paved. Whereas in Maharashtra’s Nanded Lok Sabha by-election, Congress has lost and BJP has got the lead.
The special thing is that Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena leader and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar have also completely captured the legacy of their respective parties, despite breaking their respective parties. The contribution of the miraculous leadership of BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in completing this mission cannot be denied. Overall, on one hand, the BJP-led Mahayuti (alliance) has got a landslide victory in Maharashtra, while on the other hand, the JMM-led India Alliance has succeeded in getting a clear majority in Jharkhand. Now the debate has started regarding who will be their Chief Minister and what will their cabinet be like.
At the same time, the internal tug-of-war between Congress, NCP Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena UTB’s Mahavikas Aghadi in Maharashtra Assembly elections, apart from the disappointing performance of Samajwadi Party in UP Assembly by-elections and Rashtriya Janata Dal in Bihar Assembly by-elections, has also been exposed. Due to this, their joint performance in the Lok Sabha elections has also been ruined. This has caused deep disappointment among secular voters also. However, the victory of Congress and RJD in Jharkhand has brought some relief to the party leadership.
At the same time, due to the strong success of NDA, the spirit of development, Hindutva and nationalism is once again on the rise, because of the slogans of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ‘Batenge to Katenge’ and PM Narendra Modi’s slogan of ‘Ek Rahenge to Safe Rahenge’. The effect has been visible from Maharashtra to UP-Bihar. Its impact has been felt from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh to Assam. But how this slogan misfired in Jharkhand is a matter of research. At the same time, the issue of Bangladeshis/Rohingya Muslims also failed here, because they united and defeated the India alliance. At the same time, the success of Ladli Brahmin Yojana has given the Mahayuti government of Maharashtra an opportunity to return there again. At the same time, Congress’s political respect has been saved in Kerala and Karnataka.
Let us tell you that the results and trends of the by-elections held on 2 Lok Sabha seats including 48 assembly seats in more than a dozen states have indicated the above intention. Out of these 48 seats, the eyes of the whole country are on 9 seats of UP, where BJP leader and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has once again shown his power by winning 7 seats, while SP had to be content with only 2 seats, due to which its PDA. His pride was shattered. On the other hand, RJD in Bihar continued to lag on all four by-election seats, due to which questions are now being raised on the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav.
Apart from this, there is a lot of curiosity about the result of Wayanad seat, from where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has won. Also, the results of by-elections held on 7 seats in Rajasthan, 6 in West Bengal, 5 in Assam and 4 seats each in Punjab and Bihar show that the ruling coalition is gaining ground over everyone. At the same time, the honor of the Congress alliance has been saved in the by-elections held on 3 seats each in Karnataka and Kerala. Apart from these, eyes are on Kedarnath seat of Uttarakhand, where the BJP candidate has won. It is clear from this that in Maharashtra-Jharkhand, political wisdom proved to be effective, while ego was defeated.
