The Mahayuti alliance comprises of the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
"This is landslide victory for Mahayuti in Maharashtra, this is historic. I want to thank all the voters in Maharashtra," Ajit PAwar said, adding that the MVA alleged that our schemes were freebies and were putting a burden on the state, yet the MVA's own manifesto included the same promises.

Devendra Fadnavis said, "I am at a loss for words for the kind of mandate the people have given us and the faith they have shown in us and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is a huge responsibility, and we are committed to fulfilling all the promises."
He added, "People from all communities have voted for us. The slogan âEk Hai to Safe Hai' by the Prime Minister was meant to unite everyone, and Maharashtra has voted in support of that."
Addressing the press conference, Eknath Shinde said, "Many elections have been held in Maharashtra, but this one is historic. People from all sectors, castes, and communities have voted for us.
