The aftermath of the 2024 assembly elections, in particular, has had a considerable impact on Maharashtra’s political scene. 132 out of 288 seats were won by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as of December 31, 2024, solidifying its hold on power and demonstrating its strategic ability in state politics. This triumph follows a dismal showing in the Lok Sabha elections, in which the BJP lost only nine seats in Maharashtra, down from 23. Devendra Fadnavis, who had previously resigned as Deputy Chief Minister after the Lok Sabha defeats, has returned as Chief Minister as part of the party’s significant changes in response [1][2].

Important Political Persons and Groups


After the BJP won the election, Devendra Fadnavis, a key player in Maharashtra politics, was reappointed as chief minister. His capacity for coalition building and leadership have been essential in negotiating the state’s complicated political landscape. He now has the responsibility of preserving party unity and tackling Maharashtra’s urgent problems in the wake of the assembly results.

The contribution of Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra and a member of the Shinde faction of the Shiv Sena, to the BJP-led alliance has been crucial. A united front against opposition parties has been made possible by his faction’s partnership with the BJP, especially during current election cycle.

Opposition Parties: Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena factions have been part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, which has had several difficulties. The Congress party’s dismal showing, which saw it win just 16 seats, has caused internal conflict within the MVA and sparked doubts about its capacity to compete with the BJP in the future[2][4].

Policy Modifications and Election Situations

With a strong emphasis on infrastructure and development projects, the BJP’s campaign strategy struck a chord with voters who are growing more concerned with local issues. Their electoral triumph was largely due to the party’s pledges, which included large expenditures for infrastructure upgrades and public services. This strategy stands in stark contrast to earlier campaigns, which mostly relied on populist policies like free programs for farmers and women [4].

Maharashtra’s political landscape underwent a significant move towards coalition politics in the 2024 assembly elections. The success of the BJP in the election depended on its ability to keep its allies together. However, this victory also brought attention to the rising dissatisfaction among the opposition, especially among Congress’s allies who said they were frustrated by leadership choices that might have contributed to their electoral failures.[8] [2].

Important Debates

These elections have not been without controversy in their aftermath. After dismal results, parties are struggling with their strategic direction, which is causing internal strife within the INDIA bloc (the opposition coalition) to become more noticeable. Aam Aadmi Party and National Conference allies have expressed worries about the Congress’s leadership role, pointing to possible divisions that would make it harder for the opposition to fight the BJP in the future[2][8].

Discussions concerning the relative importance of sustainable development strategies against populist initiatives are also still going on. Though they might get votes, critics contend that temporary gains don’t solve enduring problems like unemployment and agrarian hardship that still exist in Maharashtra [4].

Influence on Political Factors

Recent successes have strengthened the BJP’s standing both nationally and in Maharashtra. This concentration of power is probably going to affect how the state makes policies and how it governs. When Fadnavis regains complete authority, his administration will be scrutinised for fulfilling campaign pledges.

Furthermore, in an effort to recoup ground that has been lost, opposition parties may reconsider their tactics in light of these changes. Clear policy objectives and unified leadership will be essential if they want to challenge the BJP’s hegemony in next elections.

To sum up, December 31, 2024, is a critical date in Maharashtra politics as the state negotiates the results of recent elections and gets ready for new difficulties in the face of shifting coalitions and public expectations.
