Rumblings in the house of Pawars suggest that public sentiment turned sharply against the BJP following its alliance with Ajit Pawar-led NCP, which subsequently led to its poor performance in the Lok Sabha polls in Maharashtra. The BJP is trying hard to shore up its support base in the state by announcing new schemes such as the 'Ladla bhai yojana' to provide financial support to male students and the Mukhya Mantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana to provide a stipend to underprivileged women. However, with leaders of Ajit's NCP going back to Sharad Pawar and the sentiment among party cadre against the BJP's alliance with Ajit's NCP, there is no guarantee that Ajit's NCP will stay back with Mahayuti. The BJP aggressively trying to woo various voter groups could be a sign of it willing to go to assembly polls without the NCP.
Sharad Pawar has not expressed any reservations about Ajit's ghar wapsi, but he has made it clear that he would first consult all his party colleagues who stood with him before taking any step in this matter. Ajit faces a tense future in the ruling Mahayuti, and his party's demand for a Cabinet minister berth for senior leader Praful Patel was ignored by the BJP. As the ruling party gears up for the assembly elections later this year, Ajit knows that he faces an uphill task to regain the lost ground.
The real estate sector in Maharashtra is also witnessing significant deals worth USD 1.56 bn in Apr-Jun, up nearly 8% from last year. This boom in the real estate sector could be a sign of renewed confidence in the state's economy, which could impact the outcome of the upcoming assembly polls.
The shifting political landscape in Maharashtra is a clear indication of the uncertainty that lies ahead for the state's politics. With the BJP and MVA engaged in a fierce battle for supremacy, the future of Maharashtra's politics remains uncertain.
