"I don't think there is slightest connection between the Maharashtra Assembly polls and performance of the UPA government at the Centre. If this is the case, then the (erstwhile) NDA government had lost ten or 12 state elections," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters in New Delhi.

He said that the Maharashtra would witness continuance of Congress' "inexorable march to victory" as was seen in Lok Sabha and Arunachal Pradesh elections.
