The political landscape in Maharashtra is gearing up for a fierce contest as both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) vie for the state's 48 crucial Lok Sabha seats. With counting scheduled to commence at 8 am across 289 halls, security arrangements have been meticulously enforced by approximately 14,507 personnel.
Amid heightened security, voting has concluded with a 61.33% turnout spanning five phases. The state, sending the second-highest number of MPs to the Lok Sabha, presents key battles involving political heavyweights from the BJP, Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP factions. Among the high-profile contests is the Baramati showdown between Supriya Sule and Sunetra Pawar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spearheads the BJP campaign focusing on development, while the MVA, led by Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray, campaigns on constitutional threats and social justice. The high-stakes outcome is anticipated to reshape Maharashtra's political dynamics significantly.
