Mumbai, Jan. 16 -- Asaduddin Owaisi's door-to-door campaign as well as the hurt of narrow losses in previous polls galvanised the workers of All India Majlis E Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in the Maharashtra civic elections, resulting in the party winning 114 seats across the state, its leader Shareque Naqshbandi said here on Friday.

The AIMIM won 33 seats in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, 21 in Malegaon, 15 in Amravati, 13 in Nanded,10 in Dhule, eight in Solapur, six in Mumbai, five in Thane, two in Jalgaon and one in Chandrapur.

The win puts AIMIM ahead of parties like the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) and Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNC), by managing to secure more seats than the two combined.
