Political equation in the country's third-largest assembly
This time the political contest in Maharashtra is expected to be very interesting. This is because about 25 months ago in June 2022, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government fell. After this, a BJP-supported government was formed. Assembly elections will be held for the first time in the state after the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) split. At present, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has the support of 202 MLAs in the 288-member Legislative Assembly of Maharashtra. BJP is the largest party with 102 MLAs. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar has 40 MLAs. Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has 18 MLAs. 14 independent MLAs have also supported the NDA government. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's government also has the support of five other small parties.
How strong is the opposition camp in Maharashtra
Apart from this, the opposition camp (Maha Vikas Aghadi - MVA) has a total of 71 MLAs. Congress is the largest party in the opposition with 37 MLAs. Apart from this, former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has 16 MLAs. Senior politician Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) has 12 MLAs. Samajwadi Party has two, CPIM and PWPI have one MLA each. Two MLAs of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) are also in the opposition camp. 15 assembly seats are vacant.
