With the election dates out for Maharashtra and Jharkhand, all eyes are now on Maharashtra
00:08
in particular, where the outcome will significantly set the tone for the remainder of Narendra
00:14
Modi's third term in office. Simply because the BJP stopped at 240 in the Lok Sabha election
00:21
and it's got a huge boost with the shock win in Haryana recently. And if it is able to
00:26
win Maharashtra and Jharkhand as well, it will really completely finish that narrative
00:31
that the BJP is defensive and on the back foot. Maharashtra, of course, is particularly
00:36
intriguing because of the kind of twists and turns that we've seen in the state's politics
00:41
over the last few years. The BJP has made alliances, it has broken parties, there are
00:48
all kinds of factions in play. And the fight is essentially between two different coalitions,
00:53
which makes reading the state much more harder than it does others. Now, a win in Haryana
01:00
has actually strengthened the BJP's morale, the morale of its cadre, but it has also at
01:05
the same time really put the Congress in particular on the back foot. Because in Maharashtra,
01:10
the Congress is dealing with allies like the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena
01:15
and Sharad Pawar's NCP. And these allies are going to become much more difficult when it
01:20
comes to seat sharing talks with the Congress now, because it wasn't able to pull its weight
01:25
in Haryana, nor in Jammu and Kashmir, where the clear party that dominated was the National
01:31
Conference, the Congress winning just six seats in that state. So the outcome of these
01:38
state polls is really going to determine the trajectory that we see in Indian politics
01:44
for the next few years.
