New Delhi, Dec. 21 -- Maharashtra local body election result:Even though Mahayuti crossed the 200-mark tally with the BJP in the lead, the saffron party suffered a huge setback in Nanded district's Loha as its candidate and five kin lost the election.

The saffron party's much-hyped 'family pack' strategy fell flat in the Loha municipal council elections as Gajanan Suryavanshi, the candidate for the Loha municipal council president post, and five of his family members were defeated.

The post was won by the Nationalist Congress Party led by Ajit Pawar, whose winning candidate is-coincidentally-also named Sharad Pawar.
