After the results of the 2019 assembly elections, the politics of Maharashtra has completely changed. This assembly election was fought by BJP and Shiv Sena together under the banner of National Democratic Alliance (NDA). In the 288-member state assembly, BJP had fielded candidates on 165 seats and became the largest party by winning 105 seats. Shiv Sena contested elections on 126 seats and won 56. On the other hand, Congress fielded candidates on 147 seats and won 44 seats while NCP won 54 out of 121 seats.

In this election, BJP led NDA got majority but conflict started between the two parties on the issue of the post of Chief Minister. As a result this alliance broke. Shiv Sena joined hands with Congress and NCP and MVA government was formed in the state under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray. This government lasted for about two and a half years and then under the leadership of Shiv Sena MLA and state government minister Eknath Shinde, dozens of party MLAs raised the alarm of rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray. Claiming to be the real Shiv Sena, Shinde formed the government with the BJP and became the Chief Minister of the state.

Meanwhile, a situation of rebellion was also brewing in the NCP. In July last year, a faction of NCP split under the leadership of Ajit Pawar. Most of its MLAs joined the ruling government led by Shiv Sena and the Eknath Shinde faction of the BJP. Ajit Pawar was made the Deputy Chief Minister in this government. Ajit Pawar had launched a similar rebellion in the year 2019 also. Under his leadership, a section of NCP MLAs joined hands with the BJP and formed the government in the state. In this government, Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Minister and BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister. However, this rebellion by Ajit Pawar proved to be short-lived as most of the MLAs returned to Sharad Pawar's side and Ajit Pawar had to resign within 72 hours. Due to this the BJP government fell. Sharad Pawar took Ajit Pawar back to NCP and made him Deputy Chief Minister in the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government.

Thus, if seen, a lot has changed in the politics of Maharashtra after the last assembly elections. While earlier BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP were the major parties in the fight, this time Shinde led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar led NCP are also in the fray. The challenge for both these parties will be to prove themselves genuine in this election.
