The Mahayuti alliance is all set for a second term in Maharashtra. While the incumbent chief minister, Eknath Shinde, may retain the post, there are chances that the BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis or the NCP’s Ajit Pawar may secure the top post
Outlook Lens
A win in Maharashtra would vindicate Eknath Shinde's government and show that its welfare approach to vote sourcing won out over any ideological issues in the State. Outlook has looked at Maharashtra politics in depth in previous issues.
JMM's Hemant Soren having run a campaign centred on tribal identity while the BJP brought in its ''illegal immigrant specialist'' Himanta Biswa Sarma from Assam to lead its attacks on the Soren government for letting in "infiltrators" from Bangladesh. Outlook has dealt in detail with this clash of narratives in its previous issues.
Mahayuti’s unprecedented winning margin against the rival Mahavikas alliance has not just come as a surprise for Maharashtra, but to the ruling alliance itself.
In earlier conversations with Outlook India, both CM Hemant Soren and Kalpana Soren had highlighted the important of recognising the Adivasi community and working to uplift them. For the 2024 elections, the JMM power couple has emerged victorious, all due to the backing of the tribal communities in the state.
