Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the people's mandate will prevail even if opposition parties challenge unopposed civic poll wins in court. The ruling Mahayuti alliance secured 68 seats unopposed, while opposition parties allege coercion and the use of threats and money. Fadnavis dismissed these claims, pointing to unopposed wins by independents and Muslim candidates as evidence of opponents' clear defeat. He also highlighted development plans for Chandrapur.
