Vidhan Parishad Elections: The Serious War Goes On
Elections for the Maharashtra Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) are currently underway, and the opposition BJP and the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance are battling it out for seats. The outcomes will significantly alter the political climate in the state.[2]
Shiv Sena factions argue over the choice of candidates
Within the Shiv Sena, a struggle has broken out between the Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde factions over who should be nominated as a candidate for the Vidhan Parishad elections. The party’s campaign is suffering as a result of the intense rivalry.[2]
Sharad Pawar, the NCP chief, is hospitalised
Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), was hospitalised to a Mumbai hospital for medical reasons. The MVA alliance has suffered because of the senior leader’s absence from the campaign road.[2]
Raj Thackeray, the chief of MNS, organises a large rally
Raj Thackeray, the president of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), spoke at a sizable public gathering in Pune, criticising the MVA administration and presenting his organisation as a strong contender. There’s been a lot of talk about the passionate speech.[2]
BJP Claims Government Equipment Is Being Misused
The MVA government has come under fire from the BJP for allegedly exploiting public funds for political purposes. Strict action against officials engaged in such acts has been demanded by the party.[2]
The Vidhan Parishad polls have turned into a high-stakes contest, and the result will probably affect the political climate in the state before the Lok Sabha elections of 2024. The way the parties handle the difficulties and keep their pledges will be keenly observed by the voters.[2]
