Numerous reactions on social media highlight that digital followers don't necessarily translate into votes, hard work and public service are essential, filters and hashtags don't work in politics, and democracy doesn't care about reels or aesthetic feeds. The Versova constituency witnessed a fierce battle between Shiv Sena's (UBT) Haroon Khan and BJP's Bharati Lavekar. Trends indicate a landslide victory for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance.
