No, you will not be eligible for maternity leave
The minimum number of days required is 80

You have written that your working days were 70, which means you worked only for 70 days during 8 months tenure. Kindly clarify so as to give appropriate views by the forum members

As per the MB Act which is as under and self explanatory.
"Women indulging temporary of unmarried are eligible for maternity benefit when she is expecting a child and has worked for her employer for at least 80 days in the 12 months immediately proceeding the date of her expected delivery."
An employee has to work for minimum 80 days for eligibility within a period of 12 months from the expected delivery. Hope this clarifies your doubt.
