Exit polls for the 2024 Maharashtra Lok Sabha elections were revealed on June 1 following the completion of all seven phases. The predictions indicate a majority for the NDA, though the competition between Mahayuti and Mahavikas Aghadi remains ambiguous. The political landscape in Maharashtra has undergone significant changes in the last two years, impacting the election outcome. Notably, Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar has shared insights on the matter.
The exit polls suggest that both alliances are likely to secure over 45 seats each in Maharashtra. While national trends favor the NDA, Maharashtra appears to present a different scenario. Projections show Mahavikas Aghadi and Mahayuti securing approximately 20 to 23 seats each. Despite expectations of significant seats for the BJP, the exit polls for the Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar factions are less optimistic.
The Uddhav Thackeray group is anticipated to secure 9 to 10 seats, sparking interest among political observers. The exit polls also suggest a reelection of Modi as Prime Minister, although Vijay Vadettiwar has expressed skepticism about these predictions, attributing them to a bias towards the ruling party.
He highlighted the widespread public discontent and warned of potential discrepancies in the final results. The predictions indicate no seats for the Ajit Pawar group, positioning the Thackeray faction as the second-largest party in the state. Vadettiwar underscored the strong bond between Shiv Sena and Thackeray, hinting at repercussions for those who disrupt party unity.
