The counting of votes will take place on November 23. In the recent parliamentary elections, the opposition MVA outperformed the BJP, winning 30 of Maharashtra's 48 seats, while the BJP's tally dropped to 9 from 23 in the previous election.
The BJP's alliance partners Shiv Sena and NCP are yet to announce the seats they will be contesting, though an agreement was finalised between the three parties on division of seats on Saturday.
A source told news agency ANI that the BJP is expected to contest around 150-160 seats, while Shiv Sena will likely contest 75-85 seats, and the NCP will run in approximately 48-55 constituencies.
Opposition parties Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP -SP have also not revealed their candidates as they continue tense seat-sharing negotiations.
