The Congress party won the recent MLC poll in Nagpur, turning the expected script and openly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis over their posts.
The recent Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) elections in Nagpur resulted in a victory for the Indian National Congress, overturning earlier expectations about the outcome.
The win is seen as a significant shift in a constituency that has often favored the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance.
In the aftermath, Congress leaders publicly rebuked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, targeting recent social media posts they described as politically motivated.
These criticisms were voiced during a press briefing in Nagpur, where the party called for greater accountability and focus on local development issues.
Political observers note that the result may have implications for upcoming state-level contests, although detailed vote margins have not been released.
