maharashtra election 2024: bjp and congress Face-Off..!?

Manifesto Comparison:

The bjp and congress are going head-to-head in the maharashtra Assembly elections 2024, with each party presenting its manifesto. The congress has promised various welfare schemes, including a ₹3,000 monthly allowance for women and farmer loan waivers. However, the bjp has countered these claims by highlighting the "collapse" of similar welfare schemes in Congress-ruled states like karnataka and Telangana.

BJP's Critique of Congress' Welfare Schemes:

The bjp argues that Congress' promises are "hollow" and cites the failures of similar schemes in karnataka and Telangana. For instance, Karnataka's Grihalakshmi Yojana, which promised direct cash benefits to women, has been plagued by delays and technical glitches. Similarly, Telangana's Mahalakshmi Yojana, which promised ₹2,500 monthly to women, has yet to materialize 10 months into the government's term.
Seat Allocation and election Outlook:

The bjp is contesting 152 seats, while the congress is contesting 102 seats. The maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, comprising the shiv sena (UBT), congress, and congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='nationalist congress party-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>nationalist congress party (NCP), is fighting against the ruling Mahayuti alliance.
