Shiv Sena's Triumphant Surge in Rural Maharashtra

Shiv Sena's resounding victory in the Zilla Parishad and panchayat samiti elections has fortified its foothold in rural Maharashtra. Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, attributed this success to the increasing trust among the people in the party's leadership.

The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, of which Shiv Sena is a part, demonstrated dominant performances, securing 552 ZP seats out of 731 and over 1,000 of the 1,462 panchayat samiti seats.

Reminiscing about the late Ajit Pawar, Shinde underscored how these achievements align with Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray's vision of extending the party's reach in every village across the state.
