After the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance`s landslide victory in the Maharashtra elections, leaders from the UBT (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction expressed strong dissent. Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray criticized the BJP for its slogan "Batenge toh katenge," implying threats against opponents. UBT leader Priyanka Chaturvedi questioned the authenticity of the election process, calling the results "surprising." Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also raised concerns, calling the results "surprisingly strange." Despite the criticism, the Mahayuti alliance, led by the BJP, delivered an impressive performance and is now set to form the government in Maharashtra. The opposition parties are still questioning the fairness of the election results.

On December 15, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended the swearing-in ceremony for the expansion of the Maharashtra Cabinet. The Mahayuti Alliance, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), achieved a significant victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, securing 230 out of 288 seats. In contrast, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi won only 46 seats. Following the cabinet expansion, CM Fadnavis announced that a performance audit will be conducted for all ministers. He explained that if a minister is found to be underperforming or not doing their job correctly, the government will reconsider their position. Watch the video for more information
