BJP’s fifth candidate Prasad Lad secured 28 votes and won the election. Last week Fadnavis had ensured the win of all the three Rajya Sabha candidates.

He hugged Girish Mahajan, the party MLA from Jalgaon, as he came down to speak to the media. Mahajan has been instrumental in holding successful negotiations with Hitendra Thakur’s Bahujan Vikas Aghadi which has three MLAs. Fadnavis said only he knows the truth (on the MLAs who voted for the BJP). He has succeeded in splitting 21 votes. “I thank all the MLAs from all the parties as also the independents who helped us and ensured the victory of our fifth candidate.

There is no coordination between the three parties. We had no votes for the fifth candidate bu...
