In New Delhi, a senior MVA leader emphasized the high stakes of the election, noting that Maharashtra controls around 30% of the country's GDP. This makes it a critical battleground for all parties involved. The Congress, in particular, feels that the people of Maharashtra are more inclined towards them, giving them a potential edge in the elections.
Experts have identified two key regions, Vidharbha and Marathwada, which could play a decisive role in the government formation. These regions account for 108 Assembly seats, and data from the 2019 Lok Sabha elections suggest a significant shift in voting patterns. The BJP, which won around 45 Assembly seats in 2019, is now seeing a decline in its seat share in these regions.
A political observer explained that the saffron camp (BJP) is currently leading in only 15 Assembly seats in Vidharbha and 8 in Marathwada. If this trend continues, the Congress could emerge as the primary beneficiary, potentially winning around 43 seats from these regions and halving the BJP's 2019 tally.
A senior political consultant who heads an independent survey in Maharashtra highlighted the importance of resolving internal disputes within the alliances. Efficient communication between alliance partners is crucial to address any emerging issues rapidly and maintain strong relationships during the election campaign.
The six major parties involved in the elections have a significant presence on the ground across Maharashtra. This has led to a lot of deliberation among the electorate about whom to support. The candidate's presence on the ground is expected to play a crucial role, alongside the broader narrative of each alliance bloc.
However, the BJP's robust election machinery could still give them an advantage in closely contested seats. The party's ability to mobilize and manage its resources effectively will be a key factor in determining the outcome of the elections.
In summary, the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections are a high-stakes contest, driven by strategic messaging, candidate presence, and the dynamics of the two major alliances. The results from Vidharbha and Marathwada could be pivotal in shaping the next government.
