Mumbai: The stage is set for the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections, as the results will start trickling in from 8 am.
In Maharashtra, the 288-seat assembly contest pitted the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance against the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

The MVA alliance—comprising the Congress, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT), and Sharad Pawar’s NCP is trying to reclaim the state.
Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the contest for the 81-seat assembly sees the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led INDIA bloc vying for a second term against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA. Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s JMM, along with allies Congress and RJD, faces a stiff challenge from the BJP, AJSU, and smaller partners. With exit polls giving mixed predictions, ranging from an NDA edge to a potential hung assembly.
