2009 Indian general election in Maharashtra
The 2009 Indian general election in Maharashtra was a significant political event held in April–May 2009, as part of the 15th Lok Sabha election. Maharashtra, one of India's most populous states, played a crucial role in determining the overall electoral outcome. The election was characterized by a multi-party contest, predominantly involving the Indian National Congress (INC), the Shiv Sena, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), along with several regional players. The INC, in alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), aimed to retain power amid various socio-economic challenges, including unemployment and agrarian distress. Voter turnout was robust, reflecting the electorate's engagement in the democratic process, ultimately resulting in a decisive victory for the Congress-led coalition in the state.
