In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, the Maha Vikas Agadi (MVA) won 30 out of the 48 seats, while the Maha Yuti could get only 17 seats. But in the just concluded Assembly elections, the Maha Yuti won a landslide, with 235 out of the 288 seats. The Maha Yuti alliance's main constituent, the BJP alone won 132 seats, with the other two, the (Ajit Pawar-led) NCP and the (Eknath Shinde-led) Shiv Sena garnering 41 and 57 seats respectively. None of the MVA parties could win enough seats to even qualify for the position of leader of the Opposition – the first time this has happened in six decades. The Shiva Sena (Uddhav Bal Thackeray) got 20 seats, the Congress won 16, and the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) won 10 seats respectively. So, what changed so dramatically in a matter of five months – from June to November 2024 -- that the Maha Yuti swept the state?

Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan talks to Alka Dhupkar about his experience of working with Ajit Pawar, how he sees politics in Maharashtra playing out and the challenge for opposition parties

The Bhartiya Janata Party or the BJP delivered a political masterstroke in Maharashtra last week that stunned the Opposition parties. A year ago on June 30, it broke the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government that had been ruling the state since 2019 and formed its own government. This is it did by splitting the Shiv Sena and winning over Eknath Shinde and band of 39 Shiv Sena MLAs an anointing him chief minister of the new alliance that they formed with it. On July 2, BJP played another ace by weaning away the leader of the Opposition Ajit Pawar along with a major chunk of the National Congress Party or NCP. Ajit Pawar was made a deputy chief minister and eight others NCP MLAs were sworn in as cabinet ministers. So, in this episode of Nothing But the Truth, Editorial Director (Publishing) Raj Chengappa analyses why the strike against the NCP in Maharashtra is part of the larger BJP strategy to win the 2024 General Election.

Political commentator and analyst Sujata Anandan talks to Alka Dhupkar about whether Sharad Pawar could have prevented his nephew's rebellion, what this means for state and national politics and why the split could backfire on Ajit Pawar.

Mukesh Ambani's 2016 foray into telecom had upended dynamics of the sector. A brutal price war unleashed with the introduction of Reliance Jio had pushed carriers like Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone India against the wall. Today, Jio is India's largest telco with a wireless subscriber base of about 430 million, while Airtel is a distant second with about 370 million. Vodafone Idea is struggling to stay afloat. And now, Jio has announced the launch of Jio Bharat, an entry-level, 4G-enabled phone priced at 999 rupees. Will this new phone disrupt the market again?  India's political landscape cuts a somewhat similar picture. BJP has won two successive general elections and it still holds sway. Opposition parties, meanwhile, are trying hard to stitch an alliance to challenge Narendra Modi's juggernaut. But will they be able to do so? Just days after several opposition leaders gathered in Patna to show unity ahead of next year's general elections, there was a vertical split in a key camp. Ajit Pawar walked out of NCP and joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government. So has Ajit Pawar's switch dented the opposition unity?  It is not just political activities. The weather in Mumbai too has become intense. The weatherman has issued an orange alert for rains in the city. Meanwhile, the 2023 summer has turned out disappointing for cooling product makers as unseasonal rains soiled expectations of bumper sales. This has also been reflected at the bourses, so what should investors do now?  Benchmark indices continued to extend gains on Tuesday by scaling fresh all-time highs. After markets, let us now shift focus to the government's monetization plan. The National Land Monetisation Corporation gears up to auction its first property in September. Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more about this firm and why we needed it.

In Maharashtra Sunday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar rebelled again with some senior leaders and joined the Shinde-BJP govt. With this move, Ajit was back as deputy CM for the fifth time. In this latest turn in Maharashtra politics lie several different threads: BJP's approach to securing power, ideology and dynasty politics. In Ep 1263 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta unpacks the lessons this big NCP switch holds for politics in India, national and regional.

History was made as the first from the Thackeray clan – a family that has unmatchable political clout in the state for more than five decades now – got its first chief minister.Uddhav Thackeray was sworn in as the Maharashtra CM, on 28 November, at Shivaji Park in Dadar, which is the traditional venue for Shiv Sena events.He had vowed to make a Shiv Sainik as Maharashtra's Chief Minister but now that he is at the helm, what is expected from his governance?One person that we don't have any clarity from, however, is NCP leader Ajit Pawar who played a significant role in the political action that preceded this swearing in ceremony. Where does he stand in the alliance?Although 28 November was Uddhav Thackeray's day, the whole story in incomplete without Sharad Pawar, the NCP supremo without whom this alliance wouldn't be possible. Is he bringing a new chapter in Shiv Sena's politics in Maharashtra? How does the way forward look? For all this tune in to The Big Story podcast!

Three days and eight hours. That's how long Devendra Fadnavis's second term as Maharashtra's Chief Minister lasted. Three days and eight hours after he was sworn in as Chief Minister for his second term, Devendra Fadnavis announced that he will resign. His announcement came barely two hours after Ajit Pawar resigned as Deputy Chief Minister.  The suspense around who'll form Maharashtra's new government came to an end after a grueling month of drama, on 26 November. The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance is all set to form the government in Maharashtra with Uddhav Thackeray as the state's new Chief Minister. Barely hours after the Supreme court ordered a floor test in Maharashtra, asking the BJP government to prove their majority in the Maharashtra assembly, both Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar stepped down from their posts, leaving the field wide open for the Sena-NCP-Congress combine. This is The Big Story, the daily podcast where we dissect headline-making news.

If you're gasping for breath after whirlwind developments in the ongoing political drama in Maharashtra over the weekend, then sit tight. We've got a lot to discuss – starting with the surprise swearing in of Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar Saturday, 23 November, morning, the Pawar family power equation, the legal battle that's unfolded in the Supreme Court, and finally, the actual big question – which is when will Maharashtra get a fully functional government? So the latest from Maharashtra is that the Supreme Court will pronounce its verdict on when a floor test should be conducted on Tuesday, 26 November. But let's start where it all began. The weekend began with a bang, with a surprising swearing-in ceremony at 8 in the morning: The BJP's Devendra Fadnavis as the chief minister and the NCP's Ajit Pawar as Deputy CM. Just less than 12 hours earlier, it seemed that Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress had reached a consensus on forming the government, with Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray as the Chief Minister. But enough of reading, listen to the podcast for the rest of the story!Editor & Host: Vishnu Gopinath Guests: Aditya Menon, Political Editor, The QuintVakasha Sachdev, Legal Editor, The QuintProducer: Shelly Walia
