00:00With Maharashtra and Jharkhand at the centre of India's electoral storm, the stakes could
00:15not be higher.
00:16Maharashtra is grappling with a traditional face-off packed with fury campaigns, while
00:21in Jharkhand, a new political face is shaking up the established narrative.
00:25Let's explore how these contests are shaping up just days before the polls.
00:34As Maharashtra heads to polls on November 20, contrasting surveys are setting up a cliffhanger
00:39battle.
00:40According to LokPol, the Mahavikas Agadi MVA could seize power with 151-162 seats, eclipsing
00:47the ruling Mahayudhi-predicted 115-128 seats.
00:52The MVA is also estimated to gain a vote share of 43-46% ahead of Mahayudhi's 37-40%.
00:59However, a Mattress survey flips the script, projecting the Mahayudhi retaining power with
01:05145-165 seats and a commanding 47% of vote share against the MVA's 41%.
01:14The last five years, Maharashtra has witnessed three chief ministers, Devendra Fadnavis,
01:18Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde, reflecting the state's political upheaval.
01:23This election pits the BJP-led Mahayudhi, which includes factions of Shiv Sena and NCP,
01:29against the MVA alliance of Shiv Sena UBT, Congress and NCP, Sharad Pawar.
01:34From Union Minister Amit Shah fury rhetoric farming the election as a choice between Shivaji's
01:40Maharaj's vision and Aurangzeb's legacy to Rahul Gandhi accusing the BJP of destabilising
01:46governance.
01:47The campaigns have been nothing short of dramatic, with a decisive mandate to be revealed on
01:52November 23.
01:54All eyes are on whether Maharashtra will witness continuity or a change.
02:02As Jharkhand gears up for its second phase of polling on November 20, the emergence of
02:07a 30-year-old Jairam Mahato, popularly known as Tiger Jairam, is reshaping political narratives.
02:13His Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Modsha, JKLM, just three months old, has fielded candidates
02:20in 73 out of 81 constituencies.
02:24Mahato's appeal among the Kudmi Mahato community, which constitute 15-22% of the state's population,
02:31is drawing significant attention.
02:33While analysts predict that JLKM might not win many seats, it could chip away at the
02:40vote bases of established parties like the JMM, BJP, Congress, and ATSU.
02:46From opposing non-Jharkhandi languages in exams to advocating for tribal rights and
02:50employment based on 1932 Khatiyan records, Mahato has centred his campaign on Jharkhandi
02:57identity and anti-corruption measures.
02:59His candidacy from Dumri and Burmu constituencies symbolises his confidence in grassroots support.
03:07Despite Mahato's disruptive potential, the primary contest remains between the JMM-led
03:12India bloc and the BJP-led NDA, with both alliances vying for tribal and rural votes.
03:20Two states, two stories of political tension and transformation.
03:26While Maharashtra debates stability versus change, Jharkhand sees the rise of local identity
03:32as a new force.
03:33Will voters back the established players or opt for a fresh narrative?
03:37The answers awaits us on November 23.
03:40Till then, stay tuned to OneIndia for all the latest updates from this high-octane election
03:46season.
