Legislative Elections of Maharashtra, Oct 2009
Maharashtra, one of the biggest states in India, went to polls on October 13th 2009 to choose it's State Assembly.
Maharashtra has a total of 288 assembly seats and a political party or coalition has to get 144 seats or more to be able to form the State Government. For the past 10 years, Maharashtra has been ruled by the Congree-NCP combine. The only major challenger to them is the Shiv Sena-BJP combine, which has been looking for a return to power to their erstwhile stronghold. However, while Samajwad Party can come up to spoil the vote share for Congress-NCP, BJP-SS is wary of the growing clout of MNS.
