The political landscape of Maharashtra is witnessing a high-stakes battle as the ruling Mahayuti alliance and the Opposition MVA square off

Today marks a significant day in Indian politics as the results of multiple elections will be announced. In Maharashtra, the question remains whether the Mahayuti alliance will form the government or if the Aghadi coalition will gain momentum. Both sides have intensified their activities, with Congress appointing observers and preparing to house legislators in hotels, while Mahayuti has reached out to independents. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the battle between JMM and BJP heats up, with JMM alleging BJP’s deployment of electronic experts outside counting centers and demanding restrictions on internet services and gadgets within a two-kilometer radius. The results for UP’s nine bypoll seats and 46 seats across 13 states, including Bihar and Rajasthan, will also be revealed today. Additionally, Wayanad’s by-election results will determine Priyanka Gandhi’s potential debut as an MP.

The Mahayuti has only 72 hours to move and stake claim to form a government. The term of the current Assembly is set to conclude on November 26.

As per the current Election Commission vote counting trends, the BJP-led NDA is leading on over 200 seats and the INDIA is far behind with leads in just 63 seats.

The Mahayuti alliance appears all set to retain Maharashtra for the third consecutive term, while the JMM and team have crossed the halfway mark in Jharkhand.

As Maharashtra moves beyond the ballot battle into a Game of Thrones with the Mahayuti, a celebratory get-together at Varsha -- the Chief Minister official residence -- may be sending out a chair message.
