In the last election, BJP got 105 seats, Shiv Sena 56, NCP 54 and Congress 44 seats. However, after the election, Shiv Sena broke away from NDA and formed the government with NCP-Congress. Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray became the Chief Minister.

Now Shiv Sena has split into two factions. Sharad Pawar’s NCP has also split into two factions – Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar. Sharad Pawar has recently claimed that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (NCP (SP) + Congress + Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction)) will win 225 seats in this year’s elections in Maharashtra.
