Maha stunner: BJP's lead on 124 seats and 84 pc strike rate, bigger than MVA's combined strength

The BJP-led MahaYuti is set for a resounding victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, with trends showing the BJP leading in 124 seats, Shiv Sena in 56, and NCP in 37. Meanwhile, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP-SP, is struggling, with the opposition alliance trailing significantly. The BJP’s strike rate stands at an impressive 84%, leading in 122 of the 148 seats it contested. Its allies, Shiv Sena (71%) and NCP (62%), also posted strong results. In contrast, the MVA’s performance has been disappointing, with Congress leading in just 20 seats (19.2% strike rate), and Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP-SP struggling with 20.6% and 11.6% strike rates, respectively.

Devendra Fadnavis emerges as Maharashtra’s man of the moment

Devendra Fadnavis' rise in Maharashtra politics has been steady and impressive, from being the youngest corporator and mayor of Nagpur to becoming the first BJP chief minister of the state. Despite a state dominated by Maratha politics, Fadnavis, a Brahmin with deep RSS roots, has carved a distinct political identity. His leadership was pivotal in the BJP’s 2014 success, and though his second tenure as CM in 2019 was short-lived due to political turmoil, he remained resilient. After a brief stint as Leader of the Opposition, he returned as Deputy CM in 2022 following a Shiv Sena rebellion. Fadnavis has earned respect for his governance, especially in infrastructure development, though his tenure also faced challenges, including farmer protests and Maratha reservations. Despite setbacks, including the 2019 debacle, his political acumen and loyalty to his party have kept him in key positions. With the BJP leading in the 2024 assembly elections, Fadnavis is poised for a significant role in the state's future political landscape.
