The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday found itself at a murky position in Maharashtra, where the results of the Legislative Council elections have been announced. Of the six seats where the polling was held last week, the BJP could manage to win only one. The NCP-Shiv Sena coalition is won four seats, while an independent member won the remaining one.

The Shiv Sena, however, failed to win a single seat though its alliance partners bagged four. Sena's lone candidate lost in Amravati.

The BJP, on the other hand, has missed out on its major strongholds, including Nagpur, which was earlier represented by Union minister Nitin Gadkari.

The BJP only won by-polls to the Dhule-Nandurbar local body seat, the results for which were declared earlier.

"The results of Maharashtra Legislative Council polls are not as per our expectations. We were expecting more seats but won only one. We miscalculated the combined power of the three parties (Maha Vikas Aghadi)," Devendra Fadnavis told news agency ANI.

Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar’s NCP won the Aurangabad and Pune graduate constituencies. NCP's Satish Chavan won the Aurangabad division graduates' constituency, defeating BJP nominee Shirish Boralkar.

In Pune division graduates' constituency, NCP's Arun Lad defeated BJP candidate Sangram Deshmukh by a margin of 48,824 votes.

According to Pawar, the result was a reflection of the MVA government's performance in the last one year.

The biennial elections to six legislative council seats - three graduates' and two teachers' as well as one local body seat were held on December 1.
