Who's Who in Maharashtra

Indian democracy provides the right of vote to its citizens to elect the government of their choice after every the period of five years. However, some times unfortunately the situation rises when the ruling government looses majority in the house and vote of non-confidence is passed by the opponent party, and if the ruling party is not able to win the vote of non-confidence the house has to under go the mid-term elections. This situation may rise at the Lok Sabha in centre or at Vidha Sabha or State Assembly in state.

The major political parties dominating Indian Politics from the last few decades have been Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party besides them there are various regional parties at state level which play an influencing role in the political scenario. These parties however do not have their threshold in whole country but they have their impact on the politics at state level.

Maharashtra is one of the most developed states of India. The major political parties however are Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party, but their dominance is influenced the regional parties likes Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena etc. These parties however have not been able to get the majority in the state assembly, but both the big parties have rely on their alliance in forming the government in state.

The current government of Maharashtra is headed by the alliance of Indian National Congress and National Congress Party. Honorable Shri. Prithvi Raj Chavan of Indian National Congress is the chief minister of the state. Shri. Ajit Ananat Rao Pawar holds the post of vice chief minister of the state.
