Maharashtra Exit Polls Suggest BJP-Led Alliance Could Retain Power

Exit polls predict a likely majority for the Mahayuti alliance, with final results to be announced on November 23.

  • Six out of nine exit polls forecast a majority for the BJP-led Mahayuti, projecting between 122 and 195 seats, while two polls favor the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
  • Voter turnout across Maharashtra reached 62.05%, with rural areas showing stronger participation than urban centers like Mumbai, where turnout was 53.92%.
  • Splits within the Shiv Sena and NCP have reshaped the political landscape, with the BJP leveraging these divisions to consolidate support in urban and semi-urban areas.
  • The Mahayuti campaign emphasized economic stability and infrastructure, while the MVA focused on farmer distress, unemployment, and regional disparities.
  • The election outcome is expected to significantly influence national politics, with Maharashtra's 48 parliamentary seats playing a key role in upcoming general elections.
