Ijaz failed to receive any votes

As the Maharashtra election results began to emerge, discussions about them quickly spread on social media, and Ejaz started facing trolling. People remarked that it was significant for someone with over 5 million Instagram followers to struggle for even 150 votes. The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly has a total of 288 seats, and the Mahayuti alliance appears to be winning more than 220 seats. However, due to this loss, Ejaz is being heavily trolled.
