What happened in the 2019 Assembly elections?

The last Assembly elections in Maharashtra, held in October 2019, saw the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) reach a majority to form the government, but that was only the beginning of the story. Owing to fractures within the alliance, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena quit the NDA and joined hands with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) to form a new alliance, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which went on to form the government with Uddhav as the Chief Minister.

The saga, however, didn't end there.

Political churning gripped the state again in 2022, following which Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde along with 40 MLAs left the Uddhav-led party and joined hands with the BJP, leading to the collapse of the MVA government and the revival of the Maha Yuti, comprising the Shinde-led Sena and the BJP. Shinde, subsequently, was appointed Chief Minister.

A year later, Ajit Pawar also rebelled against the Sharad Pawar-led NCP, leading to a split in the party. The younger Pawar, along with several party members, joined the Maha Yuti, leading to two defined blocs within the the state: the MVA, comprising the Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP), Congress, and the Maha Yuti, comprising the BJP, the Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP.

Teosa constituency election results:

In the 2019 Assembly elections in Maharashtra, Indian National Congress candidate Adv. Yashomati Chandrakant Thakur won the Teosa seat with a margin of 10361 votes.

Teosa constituency voter turnout:

In the 2019 Assembly elections in Maharashtra, the Teosa constituency had 293452 registered voters but only saw 172545 votes cast—a turnout of 58.8 %.

Assembly Elections 2024 | The Maharashtra Assembly polls will take place against the backdrop of a fractured political landscape in the western state where the Shiv Sena and NCP will be going up against the Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar factions, even as the BJP and Congress try to make their mark. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the JMM faces a new challenge after Hemant Soren's recent arrest and Champai, a longstanding party member, joining the BJP. The Haryana election resulted in a shock loss for Congress, which was looking to galvanize on the Lok Sabha poll performance, while J&K also saw the grand old party eventually stepping away from the cabinet, with Omar Abdullah's JKNC forming government. It remains to be seen if the upcoming polls help BJP cement its position further or provide a fillip to I.N.D.I.A.
