Kopri Pachpakhadi Assembly Elections
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are very interesting this time. This time the two political parties of the state (Shiv Sena and NCP) were defeated due to factionalism of people close to them and split into two parts. The leadership of the Shiv Sena party was handed over to Eknath Shinde and the leadership of the NCP was handed over to Ajit Pawar. Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar were forced to form new parties, Shiv Sena UBT and NCP SP. In such a situation, this election is a fight to save the credibility of both Mahayuti and Mahavikas Aghadi.
