The Bharatiya Janata Party led Mahayuti is headed towards a landslide victory in Maharashtra Assembly elections.

According to Election Commission's official figures for 288 seats in Maharahstra Assembly, the BJP-led coalition is leading on over 213 seats, while the Congress-Shiv Sena (UBT)-NCP(SP)'s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is ahead on around 50 seats.

The BJP is currently leading on 126 seats, just 19 seats shy of the majority mark, while its allies NCP and Shiv Sena are ahead on 34 and 53 seats respectively.
