Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2019: –
Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019 are making waves in two ways. This is the first time that someone from the Thackeray family is contesting elections – Aditya Thackeray, son of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. Secondly, neither the party’s founder Bal Thackeray nor his son Uddhav has held any constitutional post.
The Election Commission has announced the election dates for the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly 2019, to be held in a phase on October 21, with the voting body gearing up to conduct a democratic electoral exercise. Of the 288 seats in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, 29 are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 25 for Scheduled Tribes. Polling for all 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra will be held on October 21 and counting of votes on October 24.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, has fielded 101 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra. While party secretary Sandeep Deshpande will contest from Mahim, no candidate has been fielded from Worli – the seat from which Aditya Thackeray is contesting.
