The counting of votes began on Thursday morning and the fate of 124 candidates fielded by Shiv Sena will be known when the results of the same will be declared later today.
The main contest in the state is between BJP-Shiv Sena alliance called the ‘Mahayuti’ and the Congress-NCP alliance named ‘Maha-aghadi’ (front) for 288 Assembly seats.
The voting for assembly elections in the state was held amid unprecedented security arrangements on October 21. A total of 3,237 candidates, including 235 women, are in the fray this time.
While BJP had fielded its candidates from 164 seats, the Congress Party is contesting from 154 seats.
