Maharashtra Polls Outcome
The INDIA bloc won 30 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in June and would look to keep the momentum going.
The win in the Haryana elections would have given Devendra Fadnavis the confidence to emerge from the poor Lok Sabha result and push for a win.
The presence of Ajit Pawar's NCP in the Mahayuti has made the Shiv Sena and the BJP uncomfortable by putting them in tight spots over various issues, including candidate selection.
The OBC vote base in Maharashtra has been BJP's strength in Maharashtra and the party is looking to consolidate it even further. The party has stated that it would not give more reservations, especially to Muslims, at the cost of OBC/SC/ST quota.
While the Mahayuti government is banking on its 'Ladki Bahin' scheme, the Opposition is pinning its hopes on an enhanced direct benefits transfer scheme to woo women voters.
