Maharashtra Votes: 4,136 candidates, 288 seats, and question of urban apathy

India Today  

With just hours left before Maharashtra votes, both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi are brimming with confidence, each claiming they’ll cross the magic number of 170 in the 288-seat Legislative Assembly. But beyond the political fireworks lies a crucial question: will urban centers shed their history of voter apathy, or will low engagement once again shape the outcome in these key constituencies? Unlike states like Gujarat or Rajasthan, where elections are often straightforward contests between the BJP and Congress, Maharashtra’s fragmented politics tell a different story. BIG PICTURE A whopping 4,136 candidates are vying for 288 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly, with independents making up nearly half the field—2,086 contenders.
