Maharashtra Assembly Polls
In Maharashtra, the main contest is between Mahayuti and Maha Vikash Aghadi. The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is seeking to retain power, and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) vying to make a strong comeback. Voting across all 288 constituencies in the state began at 7 am and will continue until 6 pm. Over 9.7 crore voters are likely to decide the fate of 4,136 candidates.
In the Mahayuti alliance, the BJP is contesting from 149 seats, Shiv Sena is contesting from 81, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP from 59 seats. Whereas, the MVA alliance consisting of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar-led NCP have fielded 101, 95, and 86 candidates, respectively. Smaller parties, including the BSP and AIMIM, have also joined the fights in the state, with BSP fielding a total of 237 candidates and AIMIM 17.
Prominent faces from both sides of the alliance participated in the election rally. Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, were rallying across the state. During the rally, the Mahayuti promoted its welfare schemes like Majhi Ladki Bahin, opposition parties criticised the BJP’s slogans, accusing them of religious polarisation.
