MVA completes the Maharashtra election agreement, giving Sena (UBT) 21 LS seats, Congress 17 and NCP (SP) 10

In the 2019 elections, the Shiv Sena, headed by Uddhav Thackeray, is scheduled to contest 21 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats, with Congress contesting 17 and the Nationalist Congress Party securing the remaining 10.

The Sena (UBT) and the NCP (SP) will now contest the disputed Sangli and Bhiwandi seats, which the Congress renounced its claim to.

The Congress Party is actively pursuing seats in Nandurbar, Dhule, Akola, Amaravati, Nagpur, Chandrapur, Nanded, Jalna, Mumbai North Central, Pune, Latur, Solapur, and Kolhapur in addition to Mumbai North.

Baramati, Shirur, Satara, Bhiwandi, Wardha, Dindori, Madha, Raver, Ahmednagar South, and Beed are a few of the seats awarded to the NCP.

Seats like Jalgaon, Parbhani, Nashik, Palghar, Kalyan, Thane, Raigarh, Maval, Ratnagiri, Sambhaji Nagar, Shirdi, Sangli, Hingoli, and Yavatmal-Washim are among those where the Shiv Sena is expected to compete.

The announcement of Shiv Sena candidates for 21 out of the 48 seats, including Sangli, Mumbai South Central, and Mumbai North West seats that the Congress was also vying for, threw the three partners’ seat-sharing negotiations into chaos.

At a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) news conference in Mumbai, Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole, and NCP chief Sharad Pawar were present.
In Maharashtra LS elections, Uddhav’s Shiv Sena is expected to surpass Shinde’s group in numbers.
According to Nana Patole, president of the Maharashtra Congress party, the Congress party has been instrumental in India’s independence and has made a significant effort this time around by giving up a few seats to coalition partners.

He said that there is currently no disagreement about any Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra and predicted that all of its employees will cast ballots for one another in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

“Overthrowing the BJP and its tyranny is our primary goal. We must defend the constitution against the BJP’s attempts to undermine it and preserve India’s democracy. The Congress is willing to make sacrifices, just as it has done for the nation’s independence, since democracy is in jeopardy, according to Patole.

After the Shiv Sena and its partner Bharatiya Janata Party failed to reach a consensus on power sharing, namely about the matter of rotating the chief minister office, the front was established in Maharashtra, India.

As a consequence, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena broke away from the long-standing coalition and allied itself with the Indian National Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party, or NCP, its longtime enemies.

Even though it was not anticipated that the newly established administration would remain long, it did so for an astonishing three years until being overthrown by a revolt headed by Thane-based Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde.

Later that year, a second split, this time in the NCP, strengthened the newly formed coalition headed by the BJP. Ajit Pawar, the nephew of party president Sharad Pawar, was in charge of this.

In the end, the Maharashtra assembly’s speaker acknowledged the Shiv Sena breakaway party as the legitimate Shiv Sena.
