Candidates of Political Parties of 2014 Maharashtra Assembly Elections
BJP - INC - MNS - NCP - Shiv Sena
Total of 7,666 nominations were filed. Highest 91 nominations from Nanded South. Minimum 9 in guhagar, Mahim and Kudal.
6,494 nomination forms were found valid after scrutiny. 2379 nominations were withdrawn.
4,117 candidates are now in contest for 288 seats.
http://www.newsonair.com/news.asp?cat=State&id=ST3379
Congress is contesting all 288 seats. NCP is in 286 seats. BJP is contesting 257 giving 31 to allies. Shiv Sena is contesting in 286 seats. It is not contesting in Parli and Byculla.
Role of Independents
In the 2009 election, about 1,820 independents contested and won 24 seats. Significantly, they polled more than 15% of the votes. In 2004, 19 independents were elected and in 1999 there were 12 independents who became MLAs. Independents scored their highest number in 1995 winning in 45 constituencies. They got a quarter of the votes cast.
In 2014 once again, independents may show a good performance as major alliances have split and hence the number of votes polled by a single party candidate may come down drastically.
