More than 4K candidates in the fray

STAKES are high for many regional heavyweights in Maharashtra as the state goes to the polls on Wednesday in what promises to be a make-or-break election for satraps like Sharad Pawar, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray and deputy CM Ajit Pawar.
There are over 4,000 candidates contesting for the 288-member House. The results will be out on November 23.
The BJP is contesting 149 seats, Shiv Sena 81, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP has fielded candidates in 59 constituencies. In the opposition alliance, Congress has fielded 101 candidates, Shiv Sena (UBT) 95, and the NCP (SP) 86. The two Pawars, Shinde and Thackerays are engaged in an intense battle to seek popular legitimacy.
