These dozen families control the politics of Maharashtra

Maharashtra Politics: BJP-led NDA and Congress-led All India Alliance have put in their full strength in the battle of Maharashtra Assembly elections. In this election battle, the role of some special political families of the state is considered very important. Many big families have dominated the politics of Maharashtra for a long time, and this time too these political families are at the center of election discussions.

Thackeray family: Challenging election journey

The name of the Thackeray family comes on top in Maharashtra politics. Balasaheb Thackeray established Shiv Sena and created a unique identity in the politics of the state. Carrying forward his legacy, Uddhav Thackeray took over the command of the party, but due to rift in the party, he had to separate from Shiv Sena and form a new party. This time in the election, Aditya Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray are in the fray from the third generation of the Thackeray family. It will be interesting to see whether they are able to maintain the political credibility of the Thackeray family or not.

Pawar family: Battle of political legacy

Sharad Pawar's name is the most important in the Pawar family of Maharashtra, who founded the NCP. Sharad Pawar's legacy is now divided between daughter Supriya Sule and nephew Ajit Pawar. Ajit Pawar is currently the Deputy Chief Minister and is standing strongly in the electoral fray. At the same time, Sharad Pawar has also fielded his grandsons Yogendra and Rohit Pawar in the elections, making the contest very interesting.

Rane family: A symbol of aggressive politics

Narayan Rane's name is known as an aggressive leader in the Konkan region. After starting his political journey with Shiv Sena, he has joined Congress and now BJP. This time his sons Nitesh and Nilesh Rane are contesting on different seats. The Rane family has a strong hold in Konkan, but this time the contest will not be easy.

Chavan family: The face of political change

The Chavan family has also made an impact in Maharashtra politics through Congress. However, now the family members have joined the BJP. Ashok Chavan's wife Amita Chavan is contesting this time. The Chavan family retains its influence in Nanded district, but being in alliance with the BJP has created a challenging situation.

Munde family: Battle for survival

Gopinath Munde's political legacy is in the hands of his family, which includes his daughter Pankaja Munde and nephew Dhananjay Munde. However, Pankaja is not contesting this time, but Dhananjay is in the fray. If they lose this time, the Munde family's politics could suffer a major setback.

Bhujbal family: Influence in OBC politics

Chhagan Bhujbal is an influential name in OBC politics, who has maintained his dominance in the Nashik region by joining the NCP. This time his nephew Sameer Bhujbal is standing as an independent candidate, making the contest interesting.

Shinde family: Battle for supremacy

Eknath Shinde and Sushil Kumar Shinde, both Shinde families are playing an important role in Maharashtra politics. Eknath Shinde, who used to play a big role in the Shiv Sena, is now pushing his son Shrikant Shinde forward. At the same time, Sushil Kumar Shinde of Congress also has influence in Solapur region.

Khadse, Deshmukh, Nilangekar and other families: Influence in different areas

Many other families are also playing an influential role in different areas of Maharashtra. The Khadse family is divided between NCP and BJP, the Deshmukh family in Latur, and the Nilangekar family in Nilanga area. All these families will play an important role in the upcoming elections.

Conclusion

In the Maharashtra Assembly elections, along with political parties, these political families are also struggling to maintain their dominance. The election results of members of major political families like Thackeray, Pawar, Rane, Chavan, Munde and Bhujbal will determine the direction of the state's politics. It will be interesting to see who among these family contenders will be able to maintain their political dominance and who will not be able to stand up to the new challenges.
