Voting began in Maharashtra and Haryana at 7 am today. In Maharashtra, 288 constituencies will go to vote, while in Haryana polling will be held in 90 constituencies.

Maharashtra and Haryana go to the polls today, reviving memories of the high voltage drama that unfolded across India during this year's general elections held in May.
Maharashtra, especially, has managed to work up the kind of frenzy that was witnessed during the general elections with the state's previous alliances ripped apart in the aftermath of BJP's massive win in May this year. The BJP abandoned it's 25-year-old alliance with the Shiv Sena in the state, perhaps emboldened by the raging success of what they called the 'Modi wave' in the national polls a few months back. On the face of it, the party refused to accept the seat sharing scheme that the Sena was offering it.

Following the BJP's split from Sena, Sharad Pawar's NCP too decided to part ways with the Congress. However, in this split, there was much less heartbreak.

In Haryana too, BJP dumped its old ally Haryana Janhit Congress and is going solo. The state will now see a three way fight between Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), Congress and the BJP. INLD leader and former CM Om Prakash Chautala has been going hammer and tongs at Bhupinder Singh Hooda, present CM from the Congress party.
