Stung By Splits In 2022 And 2023, Uddhav Sena & Sharad Pawar’s NCP Take Steps To Prevent Re-Run

Hit by major rebellions in the last two years, which eventually led to the parties' split, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction and NCP (Sharad Chandra Pawar) have now taken measures to prevent a re-run. Over the last 2 days, the parties made their candidates contesting the elections sign affidavits apart from the current MLAs.

Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 Sees Highest Turnout Since 1995

Voter turnout in Maharashtra during the recent assembly elections was the highest ever in 30 years. Over 65.1% of the eligible voters turned out to cast their ballots, as per the figures at 11:45 PM on Wednesday. This marks a significant increase compared to previous elections, including the 61.39% recorded during this year's Lok Sabha polls and the 61.4% from the 2019 assembly elections. Notably, this is the highest turnout since 1995, when it reached 71.69%. The high-octane campaigning and reservation issues, combined with the allegations of corruption, in all likelihood, boosted the voter turnout. Moreover, this is the first time a divided Shiv Sena and a divided NCP are going to assembly polls opposing one another. The increase in Maharashtra's voter turnout is largely attributed to th...

Did Exit Polls Get 2019 Maharashtra & Jharkhand Verdicts Right? A Recap As 2024 Polls End Today

Elections 2024: Exit polls in India are facing something of a credibility crisis after getting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and Haryana assembly poll predictions terribly wrong. With Maharashtra and Jharkhand voting Wednesday, all eyes are on the exit polls in the evening to see if they get it right this time. The final verdict will be out on Saturday, November 23. In 2019, the exit polls were largely right in predicting the outcome of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections, even if not entirely accurate with respect to the final seat tallies.

Uphill task for Ajit Pawar

There is a touch of pink to Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar these days. Whether in his jackets or on hoardings, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president can be seen exuding a softer hue. The shade is believed to be more appealing to women voters, whose interests his party says they have pandered to with the recent Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, which provides a monthly dole of Rs 1,500 to around 25 million women. The Mahayuti government may have announced the scheme but since Ajit handles the finance portfolio, his party claims the credit must go to him. He is also seen smiling and interacting with women, a break from his otherwise gruff persona. As Maharashtra heads towards an assembly election, to be announced any day, he has also embarked on a statewide Jan Sa...
