Maharashtra is set to have a BJP-Shiv Sena alliance government for another five years, with the former winning 105 seats and the Sena 56 in the 288-member Assembly.
The Congress settled at 44 seats, while the NCP improved its 2014 performance winning 54 seats.
In the 2014 polls, the BJP had won 122 seats, the Sena 63, the Congress 42 and the NCP 41. The BJP and Sena had then contested separately. The Sena joined the BJP-led government over a month after it was formed.
Final tally of Haryana Assembly Election results: The ruling BJP emerged as the largest party with 40 seats, but still six short of the halfway mark needed to form the next government.
The Congress won 31 seats, the Jannayak Janta Party 10, the Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit Party one each. The Aam Aadmi Party, which contested 46 seats, was decimated.
The ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance returned to power in Maharashtra Thursday, winning 157 of the 288 seats in the state assembly. But the poll outcome is a major setback for the BJP which could win 103 seats, way below its ambitious target of crossing the 144 half-way mark on its own, and 19 less than its strength of 122 members in the previous House. As the results came in, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis conceded his party’s failure to contain “rebels” which, he said, held back the BJP from reaching its target. As many as 30 rebels (of the BJP-Sena) have adversely affected the electoral fortunes of the party. READ MORE HERE
The Haryana Assembly elections were all about a resurgent Congress-led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda and the newly formed Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) led by Dushyant Chautala. But managing to win 40 seats out of 90, the BJP, under Manohar Lal Khattar, is all set to stake claim to form the government in the state. Both the Congress and JJP left the BJP bruised Thursday, and severely dented its poll call of “Abki baar 75 paar (Over 75 seats this time)”. The ruling party had gone to polls with 48 MLAs after winning Jind bypoll in January. READ MORE HERE
As the BJP failed to achieve its “mission 75” in Haryana, as assured by the top leaders before the elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the results in the state is an exception. “The political pundits who are analysing today’s election results, Haryana in itself is an exceptional win since these days there have been less instances of winning again after completing a 5 year term,” said Modi while addressing party workers at the BJP headquarters in the national capital after the results for both Haryana and Maharashtra were declared.

"BJP's vote share in Haryana went up to 36 pc from 33 pc; it shows people's endorsement of govt's work. People have reposed faith in the leadership of Maharashtra, Haryana chief ministers."
PM Modi talking about his days in Haryana said that back in the days the BJP could only fight on a few seats and if they would win in double-digit it would be a huge achievement before 2014. "With a majority of just two seats, the BJP coming back to power after completing a five-year term is one to be praised. Similarly, in Maharashtra, BJP was a junior partner with Shiv Sena, but in the last 50 years, not a single CM has been able to complete five years and Devendra Fadnavis is first such CM in five decades to complete his term."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to party workers at BJP headquarters said, "I want to thank the people of Maharashtra, Haryana for their support. This was the first experience for both Devendra Fadnavis and Manohar Lal Khattar at governance. In Maharashtra we did not get majority and Haryana we just had a majority by two seats in 2014, still both the CMs served their states for five years with honesty and therefore the people have trusted them again. I believe that in their leadership the next five years of Maharashtra and Haryana will be one of touching new milestones of development."

BJP has won both the elections under Modi 2, both the states were not our traditional bastion but in 2014 the people votes for us in both these states and we formed the govt. Both governments worked hard for five years with the idea of 'Sabka saath sabka vishwas' with zero corruption."
