Battles lines are drawn and most pre poll surveys are out. I think equations are going to be -Congress-NCP alliance 135 seats -BJP-Shiv Sena alliance 125 seats -Independent & other 28 Current front runners for CMship will be lost in shadows. Either a candidate like Dharam Singh of Karnatka will emerge or leader of tall stature will be inducted to provide some credibility hence stability to the new dispensation. Parmod Mahajan with his clout will manage to retain his position in BJP heirarchy but his credibility will in rank of file of party.
I would like to correct your statement first. You have mentioned that prestent dy. C.M. is Padmasinha Patil which is wrong. Vijaysinha Mohite Patil is dy. C.M.
As per my guess, Congress -NCP combine will lead and Vilasrao Deshmukh will be next C.M.
maharastra may have chief minister from congress party. sushil kumar sinde is futur chief minister of maharastra. There may a chance to NCPand BJP all the best for all candiats
