What transpired during the Maharashtra Assembly Elections in 2019
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led convincingly in the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, but infighting on how to approach government formation resulted in the collapse of the NDA and hence a political crisis.
President's Rule was imposed in the state since no party was able to conspiratorial maneuvers in forming the government. On 23 November 2019, Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as Chief Minister and Ajit Pawar as Deputy Chief Minister only to resign on 26 November 2019, before a floor test held on 28 November.
Thus, was born a new political alliance: the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), with Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) at its helm, supported by the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) and Congress.
29 June 2022, saw the resignation of Uddhav Thackeray after a section of Shiv Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde defected and formed an alliance with the BJP. Eknath Shinde became Chief Minister, with Devendra Fadnavis becoming Deputy Chief Minister.
