With Maharashtra assembly elections looming, the political landscape remains fragmented, particularly within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition. Tensions are rising over seat-sharing negotiations as Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP) hold numerous meetings, yet a clear consensus remains elusive.
Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena faces a significant setback with the resignation of Jneswar (Mauli Aba), who has joined Ajit Pawar’s NCP just days before the elections. This move intensifies concerns within the MVA about maintaining a united front.
As the deadline approaches, the urgency has escalated. Uddhav has put Congress on notice, demanding a seat distribution decision within 24 hours or threatening to release their own candidate list. In response to this pressure, MVA has convened multiple meetings, with Aditya Thackeray and Sanjay Raut both engaging Sharad Pawar in discussions in Mumbai.
The situation is critical as the coalition struggles to finalize its strategy ahead of the elections, with party leaders under increasing pressure to resolve their differences.
