“In the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, both the NDA and Congress lost in the Malegaon Central, Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar, and Bhiwandi East assembly constituencies, where the majority voters are Muslims.”
What FACTLY found
In the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP and its allies did not contest in Malegaon Central, where AIMIM won the seat. Congress contested only in Malegaon Central and did not contest in Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar or Bhiwandi East, as its ally and MVA member, the Samajwadi Party, was contesting. The Samajwadi Party won both of these seats.
