Following the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance's victory in Maharashtra's civic polls, BJP leader K Annamalai credited the win to public trust in the triple-engine leadership and rejection of what he called 'divisive propaganda.' He described the result as an endorsement of development-focused governance.
