The Maha Yuti Alliance, formed in 2014[1], was a formidable political coalition in Maharashtra, India. The alliance brought together two major parties - the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena (SS) - along with smaller partners, Republican Party of India (Athawale) and Rashtriya Samaj Paksha.
The BJP-Shiv Sena partnership, in particular, was significant, as both parties shared a long-standing ideological affinity. The alliance aimed to consolidate their combined strength, leveraging Shiv Sena's regional influence and BJP's national appeal.
Under the MahaYuti banner, the alliance achieved notable successes, including winning the 2014 Maharashtra Assembly elections and securing 41 out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state. However, internal tensions and disagreements over power sharing led to Shiv Sena's exit in 2019.[2]
The alliance then was revived again in 2022 when the MVA government was dissolved,[3] Resulting a faction of Shiv Sena joining Maha Yuti alliance and forming the Government under the leadership of Eknath Shinde from rebel Shiv Sena swearing in as the Chief Minister while Devendra Fadnavis from BJP took oath as Deputy Chief Minister. later in year 2023 the NCP faction broke with one remaining in MVA while Ajit Pawar led faction joined MahaYuti Government with Ajit Pawar swearing in as second Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
