All eyes are on the counting of votes and results of the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections. The results for the first round of counting is expected by 9:30 am

The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is set for a commanding victory in Maharashtra, demonstrating remarkable electoral success. The BJP is projected to secure more than 100 constituencies, reinforcing its status as the dominant political force in the state.

As per the early trends, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis was leading from Nagpur South West, Vijay Vadettiwar is leading from Chandrapur Brahmapuri, and Nana Padole, state president of Congress, is leading from Sakoli.

The BJP-led Mahayuti is poised to sweep Maharashtra, while the Congress-led INDIA bloc is leading in Jharkhand as counting of votes for the assembly elections in both states continues.

Led by the BJP, the NDA achieved a remarkable victory in Maharashtra's Assembly elections, while the INDIA bloc successfully retained its hold in Jharkhand. As political dynamics shift, what does this mean for the future of governance in these states?

The Election Commission is set to announce the much-anticipated results of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections today

The Mahayuti alliance appears all set to retain Maharashtra for the third consecutive term, while the JMM and team have crossed the halfway mark in Jharkhand.

Exit polls accurately predicted the NDA's victory in Maharashtra but failed to gauge the scale of their win. Conversely, most polls incorrectly predicted an NDA victory in Jharkhand, where the Congress-JMM alliance is projected to win.
