2014 Indian general election in Maharashtra
The 2014 Indian general election in Maharashtra was a significant event in the Lok Sabha elections held from April 7 to May 12, 2014. Maharashtra, a key state in India, elected 48 representatives to the lower house of Parliament. The election witnessed a notable shift in the political landscape, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerging as the dominant force, securing 23 seats, a marked increase from the previous election. The Shiv Sena, a long-time ally of the BJP, won 18 seats, while the Indian National Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) suffered substantial losses, securing only 2 and 4 seats, respectively. The election was characterized by high voter turnout and a campaign focused on development, governance, and national security.
