Mumbai Lok Sabha elections 2024: Minister Piyush Goyal wins in maiden contest

Contesting in his first Lok Sabha polls, Union Minister won in Mumbai North, a seat which is considered to be BJP's safest bet in Maharashtra. For the 18th Lok Sabha, BJP has tried to stir things up and announce Union Minister Piyush Goyal as the candidate for this constituency. The change left many surprised as BJP's Gopal Shetty has been winning this seat for the past two Lok Sabha polls and has a stronghold in the constituency.

"I want to thank the voters of North Mumbai for blessing us. As per the trends, BJP is leading by around 1.25 lakh votes and if this continues, we will surely win the North Mumbai seat and in India, BJP-led NDA will form its govt and serve the people of the country..." said Piyush Goyal.

A little relief was seen for BJP as INDIA bloc is seen leading in Maharashtra. Additionally, Nitin Gadkari has also taken a comfortable lead.


The financial capital, which witnessed a change in government mid-term and double splits in Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), saw political gains in the Lok Sabha polls. The INDIA bloc is leading on 28 seats in Maharashtra, the financial capital of the country, while the Mahuyati alliance manages to lead on 17 seats.

BJP is leading on 13 seats, Congress 11 , Shiv Sena (UBT) 11, NCP (shared pawar) on 6 seats, Shiv Sena (Shinde) on 5 seats , NCP on one seat. Independent is leading on one seat, as per the Election Commission.

There are total 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.
