Maha polls: BJP's best, Cong's worst-ever show in state; 'Traitors' Shinde and Pawar true heirs

Key factors contributing to their win include the popularity of the Ladki Bahin Yojana cash transfer scheme for women, consolidation of OBC and pro-Hindutva votes, and strategic counter-campaigns addressing concerns raised during the previous Lok Sabha elections.
