In an apparent reference to cross-voting, the Sena leader attributed the record margin of his victory to “invisible hands” from the Congress and other parties.

“I have won with a record 418 votes. We had around 330 votes which includes Sena, BJP and others who supported me. Since it is a secret ballot, I can’t say much about it. But the Congress and its alliance had 319 votes including MIM votes. So, it’s clear who the invisible hands were,” he said.
