Maharashtra's upcoming elections are set to significantly impact the state's finances, with promises from both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) potentially adding Rs 30,000-70,000 crore to the budget. The MVA plans to increase cash transfers to Rs 3,000, which could add Rs 44,000 crore, while initiatives like free bus rides and unemployment benefits may increase spending by an additional Rs 22,000 crore.
