4pm News Network: The Maharashtra Assembly elections are also very important for India’s national politics. Maharashtra plays an important role in the economic activities of the country. Mahavikas Aghadi is the opposition alliance in Maharashtra…. This includes Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray’s Congress and Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). This alliance had taken the lead over the BJP-led Mahayuti in the Lok Sabha election results…. The grand alliance includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party. The biggest question is whether the results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections will be similar to the Lok Sabha elections held this year or will they be completely different…. Maharashtra’s two major regional parties, the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party, have been divided. One side of both is with the BJP and the other with the Congress. In such a situation, the question is whether BJP and Eknath Shinde will get votes in the name of Hindutva or Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena. Will Ajit Pawar be able to make a dent in the vote bank of Congress and Sharad Pawar because he is with the BJP?
Let us tell you that after the Lok Sabha election results, even if the BJP is at the Centre…. And his allies have managed to form a government…. But the BJP and its allies did not perform well in Maharashtra…. Maharashtra has 48 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. In this election, Mahavikas Aghadi won thirty seats and Mahayuti alliance won seventeen seats. That means the public showed their inclination towards Mahavikas Aghadi…. Let us tell you that if we look at the figures of the assembly elections held in 2019, the BJP won one hundred and five seats, the Shiv Sena (undivided Shiv Sena) won fifty-six seats, the NCP (undivided NCP) won fifty-four seats and the Congress had won forty-four seats. After which Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress together formed the government. However, this coalition government could not last long…. And in June 2022, due to internal disputes between Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde broke away from a faction of Shiv Sena… while Ajit Pawar also brought with him a faction of NCP…. After this, he joined Eknath Shinde’s government of the BJP and Shiv Sena and became Deputy Chief Minister.
At the same time, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s motto is “If you divide, you will be divided” and Prime Minister Modi’s motto is “If we are united, we will be safe”, but there is not much spontaneity in the great alliance . Big BJP leaders are using these slogans in their rallies… But there are also parties in Mahayuti that are avoiding them… There is no consensus among the rest of Mahayuti’s allies and the Maharashtra BJP on how it should be put first. plane the question of Hindutva. The issue of Maratha factor and unemployment is in favor of Mahavikas Aghadi…. Apart from this, it is necessary to raise an issue like Hindutva for Mahayuti…. Which has been strong throughout the country…. Mahayuti wants to get his benefits somehow… Yogi Adityanath had raised this issue in Haryana… But when they put up banners saying ‘If you divide, you will be cut off’ in Maharashtra, there was a strong reaction… Because in Maharashtra there is no this type of Hindutva is practiced which is practiced in Uttar Pradesh or Haryana…. At the same time, the BJP has come to know that these Hindutva slogans will not be beneficial in Maharashtra. Ajit Pawar is with BJP in Maharashtra…and he has made it clear that whatever is happening should not happen…In Maharashtra, elections are not based on caste and religion.
Let us tell you that after Mahavikas Aghadi’s good performance in the Lok Sabha elections, now that the assembly elections are going to be held…. In such a situation, there is a difference between the atmosphere of the Lok Sabha elections and the Assembly elections… During the Lok Sabha elections, it did not seem that the atmosphere was different… But when the election results came , the The figures were shocking… In the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress had given the slogan ‘Save the Constitution’. This was a big narrative which does not exist in the assembly elections…. The atmosphere there was not contrary to the central government. But if we put it this way, the State does not have its own narrative or its own issue here… The way the Mahavikas Aghadi government was thrown out of power, Uddhav Thackeray had to resign from the post of Chief Minister… There is a wave of sympathy to some extent about that. Until then…. But what was there in the Lok Sabha elections is not the same now… The Manoj Jarange factor was very effective in the Lok Sabha elections and it can work in the Assembly elections too… But the Jarange factor is going to cause more damage. to the BJP in Marathwada…. Therefore, it does not seem that results like the Lok Sabha elections will be achieved in the Assembly….. In reality, the protests and hunger strikes for Maratha reservation were led by Manoj Jarange….
Voting will be held on November 20 to elect 288 seats in the Maharashtra assembly. Given this, accusations and counter-accusations continue in the state…. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray took aim at Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis…. And raising questions about the ‘Vote Crusade’ statement, he asked whether it does not violate the Model Code of Conduct of the Election Commission…. Thackeray said that our Hindutva burns stoves in people’s homes. While the BJP’s Hindutva reduces them to ashes…. In fact, Thackeray, while addressing a campaign rally ahead of the assembly elections at Dombivali in the district, said he had been asked to remove the words “Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji” from his party’s election anthem. before the Lok Sabha elections. . But he refused to do it… And he said Devendra Fadnavis has called for a ‘vote war’…. I ask the Election Commission if the crusade fits into their ideal code of conduct…
Let us tell you that Fadnavis had said at a rally in Pune on Friday that some Islamic scholars had called for a “jihad vote” against the Mahayuti government. In response to which he had called for a “crusade of votes”…. Attacking the BJP, Thackeray said that now this party is full of opportunistic leaders… who have come from outside…. And he said that the BJP, which sacrifices its workers…. And it grew with dedication, now it has become a hybrid…. Which has become a breeding ground for opportunistic politics… And he also alleged that the current BJP leadership has rejected the vision of former veteran leaders of the party like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Pramod Mahajan and Gopinath Munde…. And he accused the BJP of promoting “Gujarati-Marathi division”…. And he said BJP leaders are giving priority to corporate interests…. Thackeray accused the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena of corruption and said both parties have looted municipal corporations in Thane district.
Meanwhile, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar appealed to voters to reject those who corrupt politics. And he urged them to reject those who have corrupted State policy, breaking up parties and families and creating social divisions…. NCP founder Sharad Pawar, in a public appeal published in Marathi newspapers, said that the need of the hour is to restore the glory of the state…. And he highlighted the continuity of popular welfare plans, the agrarian crisis, the increase in crimes against women and the decrease in employment opportunities as issues that could affect the results of the November 23 elections… The BJP , Shiv Sena, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and the NCP’s Mahayuti alliance led by Deputy CM Ajit Pawar have a tough fight with Maha Vikas Aghadi….. The MVA includes Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar)…. Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar alleged that corruption has increased during Mahayuti’s tenure. Which created loopholes in the Shinde government’s decision to exempt vehicles entering Mumbai from taxes….
Let us tell you that Sharad Pawar said that Maharashtra is a cultured, progressive, strong and self-respecting state. He not only showed the way to the nation…. Rather, he was by his side in times of crisis…. However, the present rulers have become pawns in the hands of Delhi…. And he attacked Mahayuti leaders with state symbols like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose statue collapsed in August this year…. Accused of being bent on insulting Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule…. Pawar said that a person holding a constitutional office made derogatory comments about the married life of Savitribai and Jyotiba Phule. It is because of corruption that the statue of Shivaji Maharaj collapsed (in the coastal district of Sindhudurg)… Speaking to reporters in Satara, the former Chief Minister said that people will bring change…. And he said that people want change and they will bring change…. He will be alongside Maha Vikas Aghadi….
The NCP chief stated that the general atmosphere in the state reminds him of the 2019 elections… when people remained silent but responded on the day of voting…. Pawar said the welfare schemes announced by the ruling coalition will not have much impact on voters. And he said the Mahayuti government started cash transfer schemes to make people happy…. However, the state government did not provide information on how long these schemes would continue. Highlighting the contradiction between Mahayuti’s promises and the reality on the ground, Pawar claimed that crimes against women are increasing. And he stated that in the last two years, sixty-seven thousand cases of violence against women have been recorded… The data shows that around sixty-four thousand women and girls have gone missing in the state… which includes Nagpur… Which is the home area of the state Home Minister (Devendra Fadnavis)… Pawar said farmers are worried about the risk to their crops.
