Maharashtra Election Results 2019 and a Grand Plot Twist That Followed
In the Maharashtra assembly elections 2019, the BJP won 105 seats, the undivided Shiv Sena won 56 seats, and the undivided NCP won 54 seats. The Congress won 44 seats. Maharashtra's political landscape was awaiting a major plot twist that would change the face of the state's electoral history. The Shiv Sena and the NCP, once united, witnessed major splits over the last few years.
Initially, the Shiv Sena contested elections in alliance with the BJP, while the NCP fought as a partner of the Congress. However, the Shiv Sena eventually severed ties with the BJP in 2019 and entered into an alliance with its long-time rivals, the Congress and the NCP, a move that has since been linked to the party's eventual split in 2022. Meanwhile, in 2023, the NCP also experienced a major rift when Ajit Pawar broke away from his uncle, Sharad Pawar, leading to a fresh division within the party.
In an attempt to dethrone the MahaYuti, the MVA raised issues of unemployment, inflation, farmer's plight, Shivaji Maharaj statue collapse of Malvan, shifting of businesses to Gujarat, and, of course, the Adani issue. The MahaYuti, on the other hand, is yet again banking on the "Modi Wave" and development, "Mukhyamanti Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, etc.
