The Maha Yuti or the Grand Alliance was an Indian Political Alliance that existed in the state of Maharashtra, with the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party as the Primary stakeholders of the Alliance, the Alliance existed from 1989 till 2019, when both parties although gained majority in the recent 2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election, failed to approach on a common consensus regarding the sharing of Chief Ministerial Post, thus formally ending the 30 year old Alliance.
Formation[edit]
In 1989, Shiv Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray approached Pramod Mahajan of the Bharatiya Janata Party to form an Alliance for the upcoming State polls, As both the parties were and are sharing a common ideology of Hindutva, it was easier for them to chalk out an Alliance. Pramod Mahajan conveyed this message to the then Bharatiya Janata Party leaders L. K. Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, both agreed to form the alliance with seeing this as an opportunity to expand in the West politically.
After the acceptance of Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiv Sena, Bal Thackeray from Shiv Sena and L. K. Advani from the Bharatiya Janata Party exchanged conversations in rapid meetings held in Mumbai and Delhi respectively.
The Alliance fought the 1989 Indian general election together in Maharashtra with the Bharatiya Janata Party contesting on 22 seats and the Shiv Sena on 6 seats.
