The vote counting for the Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly elections began at 8 AM on Saturday, November 23. The BJP secured 105 seats, Shiv Sena won 56, NCP got 54, and Congress claimed 44. Despite the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance securing a majority, the two parties split over the Chief Minister’s post, leading to Shiv Sena forming a government with the support of Congress and NCP. This coalition lasted for 2.5 years before Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde rebelled with 40 MLAs, joined the BJP, and formed a new government. In Maharashtra, the Mahayuti alliance includes BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP under Ajit Pawar’s leadership.
