As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections conclude, Maharashtra’s 48 seats take center stage. Exit polls offer a glimpse of possible outcomes, suggesting a very close contest.

Maharashtra, one of India’s largest states, holds 48 seats in the Lok Sabha, positioning it as a key player in national politics. The results here could significantly influence who forms the next central government.

The exit polls indicate a tough fight between the ruling alliance of Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against the opposition alliance of the Indian National Congress (INC), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction).

Exit polls show no clear winner emerging, with both sides neck and neck. This implies that post-election negotiations and alliances could be crucial. Key areas to watch include Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Nashik, where local issues and candidate popularity could have a significant impact.
