The high-stake elections in Maharashtra will witness a contest between two main alliances namely Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The Mahayuti alliance, comprises the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), while the MVA consists of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP-SP. While the Mahayuti alliance is hoping to overcome anti-incumbency sentiments and retain power, the MVA is aiming to replace its previous success in the Lok Sabha elections by defeating the grand alliance.
