The maharashtra assembly elections have been announced by the election commission on tuesday (October 15). Now in such a situation, both the political alliances of the state, Mahavikas Aghadi and Mahayuti, have intensified their preparations. In maharashtra, bjp wants to return to power along with shiv sena and NCP. At the same time, congress, ncp (SP) and shiv sena (UBT) together want to oust the nda from power. The magic number required to form a government on 288 assembly seats in maharashtra is 145 assembly seats. The party or alliance that has 145 or more strength in the full strength assembly will form the government in the state.
Why is this election important for MVA and NDA?
In fact, this election of maharashtra has become a question of prestige for both the alliances from Mahayuti to MVA as well as leaders and parties. The BJP-Shiv Sena alliance broke after the 2019 elections. Also, the two major parties of the state, ncp and shiv sena, got divided into two factions. In such a situation, this is the first assembly election after the division of ncp and shiv sena, in which it will be known which faction the public is with.
While shiv sena (UBT) is calling Eknath Shinde a traitor, Shinde's party is calling itself the real Shiv Sena. For both the parties, this election will be like a decision in the court of the public on whose shiv sena is the real one. A similar fight of real and fake party is also going on between the parties of ajit pawar and Sharad Pawar.
At the same time, bjp will have the challenge of proving that the results of the lok sabha elections were the result of the opposition's propaganda, a fluke, as the party leaders have been saying since the poor performance in the general elections. At the same time, congress will have the challenge of maintaining the momentum of victory in the general elections. Also, this election will decide the future of the All india (MVA) alliance.
