“It was a mistake which has to be rectified. There is no point staying together if such mistakes are to be made in future,” Thackeray said.
He suggested that the race to announce sops during the assembly polls put the MVA, comprising Sena (UBT), NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) and Congress, at a disadvantage.
There are discussions taking place regarding the “EVM scam”, the bogus voters list, and the rise in the number of voters during the assembly polls.
There were deceptive schemes such as Ladki Bahin, which affected the poll prospects, Thackeray told Saamana’s Executive Editor and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut.
But it is not right to shy away from accepting the mistakes, he said.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the MVA won 30 of the 48 seats in Maharashtra.
Five months later, the Mahayuti alliance handed a crushing defeat to the opposition bloc, restricting the collective tally of Sena (UBT), NCP (SP), and Congress in the 288-member House to 46.
While the BJP clinched the highest 132 seats, the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde won 57 and NCP headed by Ajit Pawar 41 in direct contests against the rivals Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), which secured 20 and 16 constituencies, respectively.
