Election Showdown: Counting Begins in Maharashtra & Jharkhand

The counting of votes for the crucial assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand begins today at 8 am, with both states witnessing a fierce contest between the BJP-led NDA alliance and the opposition INDIA bloc.

In Maharashtra, the Mahayuti alliance is facing off against the Maha Vikas Aghadi with key candidates such as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Exit polls suggest a significant lead for the Mahayuti alliance in the race for 288 seats.

Similarly, in Jharkhand, the ruling JMM-led INDIA bloc aims to retain power against the BJP-led NDA, with Chief Minister Hemant Soren as a key figure.

Some exit polls indicate a possible edge for the NDA, while others foresee a hung assembly in the battle for 81 seats.

The vote counting also includes by-elections in 15 assembly seats across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala, and Uttarakhand.

As results unfold today, both alliances will be eagerly awaiting to see if they can secure enough seats to form the next government in their respective states.
