Maharashtra's political shift in 2022
Maharashtra has witnessed several political shifts since 2014 - when the BJP-led NDA alliance came to power. In the 2019 general elections, the BJP won 23 Lok Sabha seats in the state, and its alliance partner Shiv Sena (which was then undivided) won 18 seats. However, in 2022, a massive political crisis took over the state after Eknath Shinde, who was with Shiv Sena at that time, cross-voted for BJP. Following this, Uddhav Thackeray removed Shinde from the post of Shiv Sena legislature party leader. Soon after, Shinde joined the BJP.
Three days after the political fiasco, Shinde moved the Supreme Court to challenge the rejection of no-confidence vote in the state, which the SC ruled that the Uddhav Thackeray government must prove its majority to remain in power. Minutes after the top court's judgement, Thackeray resigned from the CM post. A day after, Shinde was sworn in as the Maharashtra chief minister and Devendra Fadnavis, his deputy. Shinde also won the floor test by proving his majority.
Later in November, ahead of the assembly bypoll, the Election Commission ordered the freezing of Shive Sena's ‘bow and arrow’ symbol. The EC allotted Uddhav Thackerary's group a ‘mashal’ (burning torch) symbol and the name ‘Shiv Sena - Uddhav Balasaheb Thackerary’, while the Shinde group got a symbol of two swords and a shield, and the name ‘Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena’.
