The Mahayuti alliance appears all set to retain Maharashtra for the third consecutive term, while the JMM and team have crossed the halfway mark in Jharkhand.

The Election Commission will begin counting of votes for Maharashtra, Jharkhand at 8 am today. Exit polls have predicted a victory of Mahayuti in Maharashtra and a neck-and-neck fight between NDA and INDIA in Jharkhand.

INDIA bloc has crossed the half-century mark in the 2024 Jharkhand Assembly elections, with JMM's Hemant Soren leading in his Barhait constituency. However, his wife, Kalpana Soren, is trailing in Gandey.

The BJP has fielded candidates in 68 seats, with allies AJSU Party contesting 10, JD(U) two, and Lok Janshakti (Ram Vilas) one

In the Jharkhand Assembly Election, the NDA leads in early trends. The BJP-led NDA targets corruption and infiltration in the JMM-led coalition, while the ruling party pledges welfare schemes and blames the BJP-led centre for using ED and CBI against opponents.

Led by the BJP, the NDA achieved a remarkable victory in Maharashtra's Assembly elections, while the INDIA bloc successfully retained its hold in Jharkhand. As political dynamics shift, what does this mean for the future of governance in these states?

The counting of votes will be completed in a minimum of 20 rounds in Sisamau and a maximum of 32 rounds in Kundarki, Karhal, Phulpur and Majhawan. A total of 90 candidates are in the fray in the nine assembly constituencies of the by-election,
