The [[2024 Indian general election]] in Maharashtra will be held in or before May 2024 to elect 48 members of [[18th Lok Sabha]].

== Background ==

The major contenders in the state are [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA) and [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA). NDA consists of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and the [[Shiv Sena]] whereas UPA consists of the [[Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)]], [[Nationalist Congress Party]] and [[Indian National Congress]].

The [[2019 Indian general election]] resulted in [[National Democratic Alliance]] winning 41 seats out of 48 seats.

After the results of [[2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]], Shiv Sena declined to support the BJP to form the government, demanding an equal share in power which was promised by BJP. Shiv Sena also demanded the post of [[Chief Minister of Maharashtra|Chief Minister]] for 2.5 years according to 50-50 promise.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Darpan |date=June 21, 2022 |title=Maharashtra political crisis: Why MVA coalition has always looked fragile |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/maharashtra-political-crisis-maha-vikas-aghadi-coalition-1965022-2022-06-21 |access-date=2022-06-23 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref> But BJP declined such promise and eventually ended breaking ties with one of their oldest ally [[Shiv Sena]].

The '''2022 Maharashtra political crisis''' began on 21 June 2022 in the Indian state of [[Maharashtra]] when [[Eknath Shinde]], a senior [[Shiv Sena]] leader, along with several other [[Member of the Legislative Assembly|MLAs]] of the [[Maha Vikas Aghadi]] (MVA) coalition moved to [[Surat]] in the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP}-governed [[Gujarat]], throwing the coalition into a crisis.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Karthikeyan |first=Suchitra |date=2022-06-22 |title=Maharashtra Political Crisis: MVA slides into minority; here's how the numbers stand |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/maharashtra-political-crisis-mva-slides-into-minority-heres-how-the-numbers-stand/article65548913.ece |access-date=2022-06-23 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-23 |title=What's next in the Maharashtra political crisis?

Shiv Sena leader [[Sanjay Raut]] accused BJP of causing the revolt within Shiv Sena and attempting to topple the MVA-coalition government, implicitly mentioned later in a remark by BJP's [[Sushil Kumar Modi| Sushil Modi]].<ref name="BBC 23 June">{{cite news |title=Maharashtra: The political crisis brewing in India's richest state |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61891133 |access-date=24 June 2022 |work=BBC News |date=23 June 2022|quote=To avoid disqualification under India's anti-defection law, Mr Shinde needs the support of 37 lawmakers in the state.

On 10th October the [[Election Commission of India]] allotted new party name of the two factions of the [[Shiv Sena]]. '''Shiv Sena''' and '''Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray)'''.
