In a stern warning, Patole stated, 'A trap was laid this time and they have been identified. They will be punished so that no one dares to betray the party again.' Although he refrained from disclosing the names of the leaders, the warning sent a clear message to those involved.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also weighed in on the matter, acknowledging that cross-voting took place and that the Congress will take action accordingly. Raut continued to attack the BJP, stating, 'The central government is going to observe the imposition of Emergency as 'Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas'. Isn't it unconstitutional to get MLCs elected by MLAs who are facing disqualification? Isn't it unconstitutional to purchase MLAs by bribing them? BJP is the real murderer of the Constitution.'
The biennial elections to 11 seats in the legislative council resulted in a victory for the ruling 'Mahyuti' in Maharashtra, comprising the Shiv Sena led by CM Eknath Shinde, BJP, and Ajit Pawar's NCP. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) faced a setback as a candidate backed by Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP) lost.
According to party sources, at least seven Congress MLAs defied the party's directive while voting and voted for the NCP candidate. The Congress, which has 37 MLAs, had fixed a quota of 30 first preference votes for its candidate Pradyna Satav, and seven remaining votes were to go to Milind Narvekar, candidate of the ally Shiv Sena (UBT). However, Satav received only 25 and Narvekar 22 first preference votes, indicating that at least seven Congress MLAs cross-voted. Ultimately, Jayant Patil of the Peasants and Workers' Party (PWP), supported by Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP), lost the election.
