Indian Political Highlights | This 'Ladka Bhau' is always with you: Shinde tells women supporters at CM residenceWith the results of Assembly polls bringing cheers to both NDA and I.N.D.I.A. camps from Maharashtra and Jharkhand, respectively, the parties are now huddling to decide their CM face. JMM leader Hemant Soren on Sunday met Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar and staked claim to form the government, soon after leaders of the INDIA bloc in the state unanimously elected him as the legislature party leader. Meanwhile in Maharashtra, several meetings among the Maha Yuti allies are lined up to decide the new chief minister of the western state. The BJP-led Maha Yuti alliance retained power in Maharashtra, pocketing a whopping 233 of the 288 assembly seats, as the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi’s dream of wresting power fizzled, with the opposition combine managing to garner just 49 seats. In Jharkhand, in a stunning comeback, Hemant Soren’s JMM-led alliance stormed to power for a second consecutive term, winning 56 seats in the 81-member assembly, despite an all-out blitz by the BJP-led NDA which managed only 24 seats.
