The election campaign for the assembly elections is in full swing in Maharashtra. Both the ruling Mahayuti alliance and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) are leaving no stone unturned to woo voters to ensure victory in the elections. Mahayuti is an alliance of BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).
On the other hand, MVA is an alliance of Shiv Sena (UBT) (Uddhav Thackeray faction), NCP (SCP) (Sharad Pawar faction) and Congress Party. Unlike the 2019 assembly elections, major changes are being seen in this election in Maharashtra. In this, two factions have emerged within the major regional parties Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party. The Uddhav Thackeray faction is fighting against its long-term ally BJP. In the 2019 assembly elections, BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena won 56 seats and Congress won 44 seats. In 2014, BJP won 122 seats, Shiv Sena won 63 seats and Congress won 42 seats.
