There is no end to the drama in the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) elections. Coalition partners, BJP and the Shiv Sena were at each other again. While the Sena and Congress candidates won comfortably, the Sena leaders have accused the BJP of backstabbing during the polls.

The Congress had fielded Bhai Jagtap, while the Sena backed Environment Minister Ramdas Kadam. The third contender was NCP rebel Prasad Lad. Lad secured nearly 56 votes, while Jagtap got 58 votes and Kadam secured 86 votes.
