This is the first state election after traditional political alignments underwent a churn and two major regional parties split, bringing more parties and candidates in the fray.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said there will be ‘some corrections’ to 1st list of candidates declared Wednesday. Against CM Eknath Shinde, party has fielded mentor Anand Dighe’s nephew.
The defeat in Haryana has weakened the party’s position in seat-sharing talks with allies in poll-bound Maharashtra & Jharkhand, where the INDIA bloc is unable to reach a consensus.
The allies have reached consensus on 260 of 288 seats, it is learnt, but now all 3 primary parties are vying for remaining seats, with even smaller allies demanding larger share.
Maharashta CM Shinde addressed rally at Azad Maidan, while Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray made final Dussehra speech before assembly polls from Mumbai’s Shivaji Park.
Former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray told the media Wednesday that the MVA will discuss who will be its CM face but those in ruling Mahayuti are not deserving of top job.
Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati says Uddhav Thackeray was 'deceived' and that pain of those affected by this betrayal will not ease until Shiv Sena (UBT) chief becomes CM again.
