Analysis

According to journalist Makarand Gadgil, 1990 election was a "watershed election in Maharashtra's politics". Because, the right-wing BJP and Shiv Sena emerged as the major opposition for the first time winning 94 seats. Whereas until 1990 election, various left-wing parties like the Peasants and Workers Party, Indian National Congress (Socialist), Janata Party, Janata Dal, Republican Party of India, Communist Party of India and Communist Party of India (Marxist) were the main opposition. These parties won 38 seats in the 1990 election. They won only 8 seats in the 2009 Assembly election showing that their decline has continued.[3]
