The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is on course to retain power in Maharashtra. The alliance has so far won 235 seats of the 288 assembly seats, as per the latest figures of the counting process in the November 20 elections. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi has suffered a crushing defeat, with its candidates winning just 46 seats.
In Jharkhand, Hemant Soren's JMM-led alliance retained Jharkhand as it won 56 seats in the 81-member state assembly. The BJP and its allies have won 24 seats and are leading in one seat.
While the NDA, which is fighting as a team in both states, appears prepared to retain Maharashtra after it took a comfortable lead in the western state. The INDIA bloc has crossed the halfway mark in Jharkhand and is likely to win the state.
Maharashtra elections: The Mahayuti vs Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) battle
- In Maharashtra, the primary contest was 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: JMM and team emerges on top
- In Jharkhand, the main battle was 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%.
Bypolls result: BJP fights for prestige in Uttar Pradesh
