Diminished employment opportunities in Maharashtra, growing discontent among the rural peasantry, sympathy for Uddhav-Sharad Pawar after splits in the parties. Despite winning more seats in the recent Lok Sabha elections, the NDA alliance hopes not to take the assembly elections lightly.
The NDA leaders discussed at length the achievements achieved during the hundred days of rule.. and the goals to be achieved in the next four and a half years. In this meeting, Prime Minister Modi directed the leaders on the steps to be taken for national development along with Amritkal Vision 2047. Samvidhan Ka Amrit Mahotsav and Constitution Killing Day on the occasion of 50th anniversary of Emergency was also discussed in the meeting. In the wake of the hat-trick victory in Haryana, the leaders also discussed the strategies to be followed in the upcoming Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Delhi assembly elections.
NDA’s plan is to implement the strategy to continue the momentum given by Haryana from there. That’s why.. After the swearing in, a key NDA meeting was held in Panchkula. Leaders of all 31 parties in NDA attended the meeting.
The leaders of the NDA parties who attended the swearing-in ceremony of Haryana Chief Minister participated in the alliance meeting held in Chandigarh after the program. This is the first time that the leaders of the alliance are meeting after the third term of the NDA government at the Centre. Even if there was a meeting in Delhi after the results of the general elections, it was a formality. Along with Prime Minister Modi, Union Ministers, top BJP leaders, CMs and Deputy Chief Ministers of NDA-ruled states participated in the meeting.
The biggest challenge for Modi 3.0 came in the form of the Maharashtra elections. Maharashtra was once a political battlefield confined to only two camps. BJP-Shiv Sena on one side, Congress-NCP on the other. But the scene changed after the 2019 elections. Shiv Sena joined the Congress alliance after handing over BJP for the post of CM. That is how Maha Vikas Aghadi was formed. Later, Musalam, born in Shiv Sena in the form of Eknath Shinde, gave a boost to BJP. Later there were splits in the NCP too and made the grand politics more juicy. The biggest challenge for the NDA is to gain a foothold in Maharashtra, where it has become an alliance vs. an alliance.
