I am the first person to notice how much are the next Maharashtra Assembly elections, which are to take place on November 19, being looked forward to. The realism around the fact that the election could be big in Indian political scene is something which a vigilant political observer can tell. A state that has achieved a significant place in the Indian economy is hosting an important vote to form a new 288-member house.
