Maharashtra elections: The Mahayuti vs Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) battle
- In Maharashtra, the primary contest is between the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, which comprises Shiv Sena and NCP (Ajit Pawar), and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SCP).
- Most exit polls and political pundits predicted a comfortable majority for the Mahayuti alliance. However, the projection also indicated that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would put up a strong show in the results but is highly unlikely to cross the majority mark.
- According to Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, leaders of Mahayuti will sit together and decide who will be the Chief Minister of Maharashtra if they secure a majority in the election result.
- The Maharashtra assembly election results 2024 will play a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the Western state as it is the first assembly poll in the state following the splits in key parties – Shiv Sena and NCP.
- The Maharashtra assembly elections were also marred by the cash-for-votes allegation against BJP leader Vinod Tawde. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray termed it as ‘note jihad.’
Jharkhand Assembly Election: All eyes on NDA vs INDIA battle
- In Jharkhand, the main battle is between the ruling JMM-led alliance, which is banking on its work and promises, and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, which is hopeful of getting people’s support on its promises and work of the central government.
- The BJP-led alliance in Jharkhand includes the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United), and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas. In contrast,e the JMM-led alliance consists of the Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist).
- Exit polls have been split in their predictions indicating chances of a hung assembly in Jharkhand with many of them suggesting that BJP-led NDA has an edge over JMM and team.
- Jharkhand went to polls in two phases – November 13 and November 20 – for 81 assembly seats.
- Jharkhand witnessed 67.74 % voter turnout in the two phases of the elections. The voter turnout in the second and final phase stood at 68.95%.
