The alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena is poised to form the government in Maharashtra again, but the big winner of the 2019 Assembly election is Sharad Pawar. Popularly known as the “Chanakya of Maharashtra”, the Nationalist Congress Party chief proved his mettle yet again, at the age of 79, securing 55 seats for his party, and 99 seats for the Congress-NCP alliance.
It’s a performance that shook up the dynamics of this election, initially predicted to be a clean sweep for the BJP.
