The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance seeks to retain power, while the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), a coalition of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), aims for a strong comeback.Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have actively campaigned, reflecting the significance of these elections. Of the 288 seats, 234 are in the general category, while 29 and 25 are reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, respectively. As per the state electoral office, 4,140 candidates remain in the fray after 2,938 withdrawals from 7,078 valid nominations.Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024: Key Constituencies to WatchWorli: Aaditya Thackeray Defends His Seat Against Tough RivalsThe Worli constituency in Mumbai has emerged as a three-way battleground. Aaditya Thackeray, representing Shiv Sena (UBT), faces Milind Deora of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Sandeep Deshpande of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).Aaditya, who secured a decisive victory in 2019 with over 89,000 votes, gained prominence for his hands-on management during the COVID-19 crisis. Milind Deora, a former Union minister, is banking on his experience and appeal among urban middle-class voters. Meanwhile, Deshpande has built a strong reputation for addressing civic issues, including housing and infrastructure, appealing particularly to Marathi-speaking residents.Read More: Maharashtra Election Result LiveBaramati: Pawar Family Legacy Faces Internal RivalryBaramati, a stronghold of the Pawar family, is set for another dramatic contest. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, representing the NCP, faces his grandnephew Yugendra Pawar, backed by the NCP (Sharad Pawar) faction.Ajit Pawar, a seven-time MLA from Baramati, commands significant support, having won in 2019 with over 83% of the vote share. Yugendra, mentored by Sharad Pawar, has been instrumental in previous election campaigns and aims to challenge his uncle's dominance.“Baramati has always been the symbol of family politics, but this election will test loyalty and leadership,” said a local political analyst.Vandre East: Sardesai vs Siddique in a Battle of InfluenceIn Vandre East, Zeeshan Siddique of Congress is pitted against Varun Sardesai, a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray and a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader. Siddique, who enjoys strong backing from young voters and the Muslim community, is also riding a wave of sympathy following the death of his father, former minister Baba Siddique. Sardesai, known for his organisational skills, aims to retain the party's traditional support base in the constituency.Nagpur South West: Fadnavis Eyes a Fourth TermDeputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeks re-election from Nagpur South West, a constituency he has represented since 2009. Fadnavis won the 2019 election with a margin exceeding 49,000 votes, bolstered by his development initiatives and strong organisational support.His opponent, Congress' Praful Gudadhe, hopes to leverage voter fatigue and local grievances to mount a challenge. Issues like urban infrastructure and economic concerns could play a role in shaping voter sentiment.Kopri-Pachpakhadi: Shinde’s Political Legacy on the LineIn Thane’s Kopri-Pachpakhadi constituency, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is contesting against Kedar Dighe, nephew of the late Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe. Shinde has often credited Anand Dighe as his mentor and highlighted his connection to the leader through the biopic Dharmaveer.“Anand Dighe's vision continues to inspire my work. His legacy remains my guiding light in this election,” Shinde said during a campaign event.Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024: Alliances and Divisions Define Maharashtra PoliticsMaharashtra’s political landscape has undergone significant changes in recent years. The BJP and Shiv Sena split in 2019, leading to the formation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. However, internal dissent resulted in Eknath Shinde breaking away with a faction of Shiv Sena MLAs, eventually forming a coalition with the BJP in 2022.The NCP also experienced a split, with Ajit Pawar aligning with the BJP and Sharad Pawar retaining leadership of the original faction. These shifting alliances underscore the unpredictability of Maharashtra’s electoral dynamics.Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024: What’s at Stake?With Maharashtra contributing significantly to India’s GDP, this election holds importance beyond state boundaries. The results will influence national politics ahead of the 2024 general elections.
