As the state of Maharashtra awaits the announcement of the assembly election results, leaders from the Mahayuti alliance visited the famous Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Temple to offer prayers. Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, the son of Maharashtra's current Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, was among the prominent visitors on Friday morning. Representing the Kalyan Lok Sabha constituency, Shinde made the pilgrimage to seek blessings ahead of the election results.

Also present at the temple was Raksha Khadse, the Union Minister of State (MoS) for Youth Affairs and Sports. A member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), she represents the Raver Lok Sabha constituency. Raksha Khadse, who is married to Nikhil Khadse (son of senior BJP leader Eknath Khadse), joined other leaders in offering prayers for a favourable outcome in the polls.
