While Maharashtra sends 48 lawmakers to the Lok Sabha, the second highest after Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has 26 seats.
In 2014, the BJP and Shiv Sena had won 42 seats in Maharashtra and all 26 in Gujarat, propelling the NDA to get an absolute majority at the Centre. The Congress had won just two seats in Maharashtra and had drawn a blank in Gujarat.
In both the states, the NDA has banked mainly on ‘Brand Modi’, the Balakot air strike and national security as it hopes for a repeat of 2014, while the Congress, bereft of a leader with similar appeal, strived to keep the campaign focused on local issues and highlighted farmer distress and unemployment.
Two Lok Sabha seats are up for grabs in Goa, while both Dadar and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu have one constituency each. All the four seats are currently held by the BJP.
