Maharashtra elections set for November 20 as ruling alliance faces strong opposition

The Maharashtra elections on November 20 will see the ruling Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP and Ajit Pawar's NCP, face off against the opposition Maha Aghadi Vikas (MVA), led by the Congress and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena-UBT. Recent Lok Sabha elections showed the MVA winning 30 out of 48 seats, while Mahayuti secured only 17. Ajit Pawar's NCP suffered a significant loss, winning just one seat, raising concerns within the alliance about its future. The MVA aims to capitalize on its Lok Sabha success, while the Mahayuti faces challenges like anti-incumbency and internal strife. The outcome of the Haryana Assembly elections may also influence voter sentiment in Maharashtra.
