The Hindu  

In the past five years, there have been dramatic twists and turns in Maharashtra politics. After the 2019 Assembly elections, one coalition got dissolved and a new three-party coalition was formed.

Thereafter, four polling stations were selected from within each of the sampled Assembly constituencies using the systematic random sampling method. Finally, 40 respondents were randomly selected using the systematic random sampling method from the electoral rolls of the sampled polling stations.
