However, Pawar pointed out that in the recent LS elections, MVA was ahead in 155 of the 288 assembly segments.
This, the NCP (SCP) chief said, reveals the trend and proves that MVA is in a good position to win assembly polls.
"We won 30 seats and one MP extended support to us.
LS election results have put (the governing) Mahayuti in shock.
That is why the (state) interim budget presented is full of flowery promises," added Pawar.
