Ruling BJP led Mahayuti alliance vying to retain power, opposition MVA combine hoping for strong comeback
Reportedly top leaders of the six major parties in maharashtra ended the campaigning for the high stakes assembly election on Monday. The highlight of the day: the Pawar versus Pawar poll rally in Baramati, which will be the most anticipated battle as the state votes on november 20. With the political landscape more fragmented than ever before, this election will be the biggest test of the splits in two major regional parties shiv sena and ncp in the last two years. The last day of campaigning saw chief minister Eknath Shinde addressing four rallies in and around Thane, deputy chief minister ajit pawar at five rallies, including the Baramati one, and sharad pawar in Baramati and three other rallies. The other deputy cm, Devendra Fadnavis, addressed rallies in his nagpur Southwest constituency.
Perhaps the ruling bjp led Mahayuti alliance is vying to retain power and the maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) combine is hoping for a strong comeback. The election campaign saw prominent leaders like narendra Modi, amit shah, rahul Gandhi, priyanka gandhi Vadra, and many Union ministers crisscrossing the state to garner votes for their candidates. Ahead of the elections, the bjp launched a new ad campaign attacking the opposition and urging people to “Say No to Congress".Moreover the major parties in the fray are the bjp, ncp and shiv sena as part of the ruling alliance Mahayuti, and the congress, shiv sena (UBT) and ncp (SP) as constituents of the MVA. The bjp is contesting the elections in 149 seats, shiv sena is in the fray in 81 seats, and the ajit pawar led ncp has fielded candidates in 59 constituencies. The congress has fielded 101 candidates, shiv sena (UBT) 95, and ncp (SP) has put up 86 candidates. Smaller parties, including the Bahujan Samaj party (BSP) and the All india Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), are also contesting, with the former fielding 237 candidates and the latter 17.
