Maharashtra: Shiv Sena, the party of Uddhav, reacted to the exit poll that showed that would get 28–41 seats. Its spokesperson Anand Dubey has reminded the voters of a series of predictions made elsewhere that went awry. “Exit polls had once declared an easy victory for Congress in Haryana and Madhya Pradesh, but ground realities differed considerably,” he said. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP, is poised for victory, he said.
Clyde Crasto, ‘the NCP-SCP spokesperson, had similar reactions over the prediction of exit polls. He said grassroots feedback showed stronger public support for MVA than polls suggested. “Exit polls often fail to capture ground realities. Our interactions with voters show a close contest, with MVA having an edge,” said Crasto, adding that people should exercise patience till November 23, the day official results are announced.
Projections and Contest Dynamics
Most of the major polls have predicted an NDA win in Maharashtra. Axis My India has projected a total of 28–32 seats for NDA and 16-20 for MVA. ABP-CVoter and Jan Ki Baat have provided different margins, but all three of these opinion polls indicate a neck-to-neck fight. The Mumbai North, Thane, and Nagpur constituencies have attracted significant attention ahead of polls for these high-stakes elections.
What is to come next?
The MVA is facing challenges due to internal splits within the Shiv Sena and the NCP, despite having confidence.
Now both the alliances are waiting for the final verdict, which is on November 23, the question remains whether the MVA can overcome the odds or if the NDA will consolidate its power in Maharashtra.
This contest throws up the complexities of Indian electoral politics, where on-ground dynamics can vary much from the poll predictions.
