Maharashtra Election Results 2019: BJP-Shiv Sena alliance retains power in Maharashtra with reduced majority

Maharashtra Election Result 2019 Live Updates: The BJP and Shiv Sena are all set to retain power in Maharashtra but the alliance has won fewer seats this time in comparison to the 2014 state elections. The two parties together have won 161 seats. The BJP also claims the support of other smaller parties and the 13 independents. 

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis confirmed in a press conference yesterday that the alliance has the support of all the independent MLAs, most of whom are either BJP or Shiv Sena rebels. This would mark the first time that a non-Congress government has come back for a second term in Maharashtra. 

Who will be the CM is the biggest question of the hour, as Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray confirmed that the party would be pushing for the 50:50 formula, which was the base of their pre-poll alliance with the BJP. Under the formula, both the allies had agreed to share the CM post for two and a half years subject to certain conditions. Fadnavis confirmed that the party will be going ahead with what was decided between them and the Sena. 

The opposition, especially the NCP fared better than it did in the 2014 state elections. The NCP won 54 seats this time, more than its 41 in 2014. The Congress won 44 seats this time, also up from its 42 in 2014. However, Maharashtra was a bastion of the Congress party previously.
