Mumbai: The stage is set for counting of votes for assembly polls in Maharashtra today with stakes high for Congress, which could not do well in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year and also for the BJP, which is incumbent in the two states.
The assembly poll results will also be crucial for the NCP in Maharashtra, which is an ally of Congress, as also for parties such as Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, AIMIM and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.
The BSP has also fielded candidates in the state.
The exit polls have predicted the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance getting elected in Maharashtra but have differed in their projection of a number of seats.
The BJP will create history if it again wins Haryana and returns to power with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
The assembly elections are the first after the BJP-led government's decisions to modify Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and a verdict in its favour will give a boost to the party ahead of the winter session of Parliament next month.
A victory will also keep the political momentum with the BJP after its emphatic victory in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The polls are crucial for Congress which has faced desertions after its second successive debacle in the Lok Sabha polls. A strong performance will help the party in its process of electoral revival.
The BJP has already declared that incumbent chief minister Devendra Fadnavis will continue to lead the governments if the party is voted to power.

Mumbai: The stage is set for counting of votes for assembly polls in Maharashtra today with stakes high for Congress, which could not do well in the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year and also for the BJP, which is incumbent in the two states.
The assembly poll results will also be crucial for the NCP in Maharashtra, which is an ally of Congress, as also for parties such as Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, AIMIM and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.
The BSP has also fielded candidates in the state.
The exit polls have predicted the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance getting elected in Maharashtra but have differed in their projection of a number of seats.
The BJP will create history if it again wins Haryana and returns to power with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra.
The assembly elections are the first after the BJP-led government's decisions to modify Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and a verdict in its favour will give a boost to the party ahead of the winter session of Parliament next month.
A victory will also keep the political momentum with the BJP after its emphatic victory in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The polls are crucial for Congress which has faced desertions after its second successive debacle in the Lok Sabha polls. A strong performance will help the party in its process of electoral revival.
The BJP has already declared that incumbent chief minister Devendra Fadnavis will continue to lead the governments if the party is voted to power.
