The results of by-elections in some states including two states of the country have given their mandate to the ruling party. In every election, there is resentment among the people towards the government on some issue or the other, but nothing like this was seen in the elections of Maharashtra and Jharkhand. The public has once again given the responsibility of assuming power to the same governments which were in power. The special thing is that the ruling coalition in Maharashtra and Jharkhand has got more seats than before. This mandate neither paves the way for anyone to jump nor does it create a situation for anyone to be rejected. As far as celebrations are concerned, in Maharashtra the BJP led alliance is celebrating its victory, while in Jharkhand the Indi alliance has been garlanded with a victory garland. The by-election has given everyone both happiness and a lesson.
After the results of the assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, political analysis is being done as per our own. Both victory and defeat messages are being sent regionally for political parties in these elections. The result, which brought happiness to some and sorrow to others, has proved that neither any one political party has a wide influence in the country nor can the one getting less seats be underestimated. The most special thing about this election can be considered that no party could achieve the majority figure on its own, due to which the message is coming out that now the direction and condition of future politics will be decided only with the help of alliance. At present, politics is between two streams of thought, in which on one side there is the idea of political parties running in coordination with the Bharatiya Janata Party and on the other side there is the idea of parties that are in sync with the ideas of Congress. Not only this, the language used against each other in these elections may be justified from political point of view, but it creates a situation of confusion among the common citizens.

The results of the assembly elections held in Maharashtra can definitely be called good for the BJP, but the BJP, which has entered the fray with the dream of forming the government in Jharkhand, will have to prepare again. The result of Jharkhand is being said to be based on sympathy for Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Recently, Hemant Soren had to step down from the post of Chief Minister due to corruption charges in Jharkhand. After which Hemant Soren made this his political weapon in the elections and created an atmosphere in his favor in the elections. It seems that BJP failed to understand its strengths and weaknesses in Jharkhand. BJP cannot be called as ineffective in Jharkhand as its performance has been in this election. In the last assembly elections, the tension between the regional leaders of BJP was well known, the result of which was not good for the BJP. Although in this election BJP tried its best to correct its previous mistake, but it failed to build the ladder of power. Now it seems certain that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha government will be formed again in Jharkhand and Hemant Soren will again be the Chief Minister.
According to the political conclusions being drawn about the Maharashtra elections after the results, it is being said that the political winds were blowing in different directions in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. The one who sensed the direction of the wind, moved with the wind and succeeded in gaining power. By rejecting Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party, which were with the Congress in the elections held after the split of Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra, the public has probably given the message that it was a mismatched alliance for power. What should be the meaning of such a mandate in Maharashtra that if one alliance wins and the other alliance loses? Similarly, the mandate has also started being reviewed in Jharkhand.
It cannot be said exactly who was at the center of the political upheaval that took place in Maharashtra in the last five years, but if the Indi alliance is to be believed, it left no stone unturned in putting the entire blame on the BJP. The Nationalist Congress Party and the Shiv Sena paid the price for this political quagmire in the form of their split. The factions that separated joined the BJP and formed the government in Maharashtra. It is being said that the mandate has given a certificate of authenticity to Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party, which are with BJP. Now it is certain that the National Democratic Alliance government will be formed in Maharashtra, but speculations have also started about who will be the Chief Minister, because BJP has made a spectacular comeback as the largest party in Maharashtra. There is more hope that Eknath Shinde will become the Chief Minister again. The political reason behind this is also believed to be that the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Center needs allies, hence the BJP can no longer upset its allies. Secondly, the shocking manner in which BJP made Eknath Shinde the Chief Minister was a surprise for everyone. Now it is also possible that the way BJP made former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis the Deputy Chief Minister, the same experiment can be done with Shinde as well.
