A senior NCP leader on Friday claimed the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi divided opposition votes in several seats resulting in victory to the BJP and the Shiv Sena.
In a tweet, Mumbra-Kalwa MLA Jitendra Awhad said, "Congress and NCP lost 12 and 11 seats because of VBA candidates ate our share of votes. The MIM candidates in Nagpur Central and Nanded north helped the BJP and Shiv Sena candidates to sail through a tough contest."
