Maha Vikas Aghadi Awaits Seat-Sharing Talks for Maharashtra Assembly Polls

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut announced that seat-sharing negotiations among the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies for the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections have not started. He emphasized that all members are equal stakeholders and highlighted their success in the Lok Sabha elections.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut revealed on Saturday that seat-sharing discussions have yet to begin among the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies for the Maharashtra assembly elections scheduled later this year.

Addressing reporters, Raut highlighted the MVA's united front in the Lok Sabha polls, which curtailed BJP's ambitions for a full majority in the state. The alliance, comprising Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP), and Congress, collectively won 30 out of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.

Raut clarified that no seat-sharing talks have commenced with either the NCP (SP) or Congress, emphasizing that all are equal stakeholders in the alliance. He assured that the 288 assembly seats would sufficiently accommodate all parties. His remarks came as NCP (SP) leader quoted Sharad Pawar, suggesting a shift in seat contest strategy for the assembly polls. The strike rates in the Lok Sabha elections saw NCP (SP) at 80%, Congress at 75%, and Shiv Sena (UBT) at 41%.
