Mumbai: The Maharashtra wing of the Congress is grappling with its massive defeat in the state. The Congress-NCP alliance contested 27 seats in the state and won only six seats.
The Congress on its own won only two seats.
Among those who lost were former Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, who lost Solapur by a margin of one lakh votes, Milind Deora and Priya Dutt.
Praful Patel, state Cabinet Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and Congress leader Narayan Rane's son Nitesh Rane also lost.
