1:1 In Year's Last Polls - NDA Sweeps Maharashtra, INDIA Keeps Jharkhand

Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly election results: This was the first election after splits in the NCP and the Shiv Sena

BJP-led NDA has recorded a massive victory in the Maharashtra election

New Delhi: The BJP-led Mahayuti has scored a massive victory in Maharashtra while the INDIA Opposition bloc has retained Jharkhand in the Assembly polls. Besides the Assembly polls, results of bypolls to 48 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats were also declared

Here's your 10-point cheat sheet to this big story

  1. As the counting of votes nears its end, NDA has crossed the 230 mark in Maharashtra, with the BJP registering its best-ever poll showing in the state.

  2. The Maha Vikas Aghadi, which had put up a stunning show in the Lok Sabha election earlier this year, has suffered a massive setback, with its cumulative tally less than one-fourth of the NDA score.

  3. In Mahayuti, the BJP contested the largest number of seats at 148, followed by the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at 80, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar at 52.

  4. The counting is now in its last leg and the BJP has won 132 seats, the Shinde Sena 54 and the NCP has scored 41 seats in a massive comeback from their Lok Sabha poll setback.

  5. The Maha Vikas Aghadi faces a major electoral disappointment, but the wound is deepest for Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar.

  6. Mr Thackeray and Mr Pawar lost their party's name and symbol to mutinies led by their trusted ones. The two leaders fought this election as a prestige fight. Their big defeat now raises a question mark on their political future.

  7. The Opposition has a reason to smile in Jharkhand though. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led alliance has won 57 seats in the 81-member Assembly, bettering its 2019 score.

  8. The NDA, which fought the election on an "anti-infiltration" plank and showcased the Centre's schemes in its campaign, has won 23 seats this time.

  9. In the two Parliamentary bypolls, it is 1-1 for the BJP and the Congress. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has scored a massive win in her electoral debut and won Wayanad with a margin of over 4 lakh votes. Maharashtra's Nanded seat has gone to BJP's Santukrao Hambade.

  10. In the 48 Assembly bypolls, its advantage NDA in Assam, Bihar and Rajasthan, a Congress consolation in Karnataka, a Trinamool sweep in Bengal and a setback for Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh.
