Congress Strategizes for Maharashtra Elections Amid MVA Tensions

Congress leaders meet to address seat-sharing challenges and alliance dynamics following the Haryana election setback.

Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, convened to discuss strategies for the Maharashtra Assembly elections following their unexpected defeat in Haryana.
The party aims to contest at least 110 seats, facing pressure from MVA allies Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) over seat distribution.
MVA allies expect Congress to be more flexible with seat-sharing, despite Congress's desire to maintain strongholds.
The meeting highlighted the need for a cohesive strategy to counter BJP's influence and address caste-related issues in Maharashtra.
The MVA coalition, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP, plans to contest all 288 seats against the ruling Mahayuti alliance.
