Watch CutTheClutter: Muddled agendas & ideologies, divided houses, fight to finish for some in Maharashtra

New Delhi: The race for Maharashtra’s 288-seat assembly is set to be a close contest between the BJP-led NDA and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi, which includes Congress, Sharad Pawar’s NCP, and Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena. While the NDA dominated the outgoing assembly with 203 seats, internal rifts within the Shiv Sena and NCP have shifted the balance. Projections now suggest the NDA will secure 127 seats, while the MVA could win 151 seats, mirroring trends from the Lok Sabha elections. Regional factors are pivotal in this contest. The BJP has strengthened its foothold in Mumbai and Thane, while MVA continues to lead in Marathwada, bolstered by agrarian distress and Maratha agitation against the BJP.

Maharashtra goes to polls today: Battle hinges on sops, jobs, quota & crop – Times of India

MUMBAI: Cash, Caste, Crop, and perhaps Community. That pretty much defines the main factors at play as Maharashtra heads into an election on Wednesday.This is the first assembly poll since the dramatic split of Shiv Sena and NCP, which led to major political realignments and comes barely six months after the Lok Sabha results in which the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi came out on top. Wresting 30 of the state's 48 seats, it left the governing Mahayuti reeling with a tally of 17, even though the difference in vote-share of the two fronts was less than 1%. In terms of leads, Mahayuti was ahead in 125 segments while the MVA was leading in 153.However, the Haryana verdict has given BJP and allies an impetus in the form of an unprecedented third term. They have since worked overtime to counter a...

Devendra Fadnavis dismisses attack on Anil Deshmukh NEW DELHI: In a Bollywood-worthy twist to election season drama, Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has labeled the alleged stone attack on ex-Home Minister Anil Deshmukh as pure fiction. Comparing it to a Rajinikanth blockbuster, Fadnavis on Tuesday accused the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) of spinning a sympathy-garnering yarn to distract from what he claims is an inevitable poll defeat.The incident, which reportedly left Deshmukh with minor head injuries, occurred Monday night while he was returning to Katol from a poll rally in Nagpur. Fadnavis, who also heads the home department, isn’t buying the story.'Doesn’t add up'Fadnavis dismantled the account with a mix of sarcasm and logic. "If a 10-kg stone was hurled at the car, ...

Shinde govt wanted to enslave women with Ladki Bahin scheme, people have seen intention, says Uddhav

Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray has claimed that the Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government’s Ladki Bahin scheme won’t have any impact on the state assembly elections Wednesday, saying the scheme was more about an “owner-slave” relation with the state’s women voters rather than a “brother-sister”’ bond. Ladki Bahin literally translates to ‘beloved sister’. “Ladki Bahin will not have much of an impact because people have started understanding the intention behind the scheme,” Thackeray told ThePrint in an interview.  He added: “They think that by giving Rs 1500 per month, all women have become their slaves. This won’t happen. Their emotion behind this scheme is not of brother-sister but of owner-slave.” Show Full Article The Mahayuti g...
