News Desk – Look at seven important people in the upcoming 2024 Maharashtra state election:
Devendra Fadnavis: A key leader of the BJP and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. This election is very important for him, especially after some setbacks in the recent national elections.
Uddhav Thackeray: He leads one group of the Shiv Sena party. He faced a big challenge when part of his party left to join another leader. This election will show which group will continue the legacy of his father, Bal Thackeray.
Eknath Shinde: He used to be with Uddhav Thackeray but then left to become the Chief Minister with support from the BJP. This election is his chance to show he can lead on his own.
Sharad Pawar: At 84 years old, he is one of the most experienced politicians in Maharashtra and leads the NCP. His party split when his nephew left, and this election will be important for his future.
Ajit Pawar: He left his uncle Sharad Pawar’s party to start his own and is now the Deputy Chief Minister. This election is crucial for him to establish his new party.
Nana Patole: He is the leader of the Congress party in Maharashtra and works closely with other opposition parties. He’s been actively opposing the BJP.
Raj Thackeray: He leads the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and has recently supported the BJP. This election is important for his party to show they are still relevant, especially as his son is running for the first time.
