Maharashtra Elections: MVA Finalizes Seat-Sharing Amid Tensions

The Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition agrees on an 85-seat allocation for each major party, though disputes persist over remaining seats.

The MVA coalition, consisting of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (Sharad Pawar), has agreed to contest 85 seats each in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections.
Despite the agreement, tensions linger as disputes remain unresolved over 33 seats, with ongoing discussions about allocations for smaller allies.
The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, including Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's NCP, faces internal challenges with independent candidates and factional splits.
High-profile constituencies like Worli and Kopri-Pachpakhadi are set for intense contests, with key figures like Aaditya Thackeray and CM Eknath Shinde in the fray.
The elections are scheduled for November 20, with results to be declared on November 23, marking a crucial battle between the MVA and Mahayuti alliances.
