In a political tug-of-war, Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition is embroiled in discussions over who will claim a coveted Rajya Sabha seat. The Shiv Sena (UBT), along with its MVA partners Congress and NCP (SP), are in negotiations, aiming to harmonize differing views.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut emphasized the importance of consulting among the allies. 'Initial differences are normal in politics,' Raut said, highlighting that final decisions will reflect consultations among key leaders including Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray, both pivotal figures in Maharashtra's political landscape.
Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe reiterated his party's claim to either a Rajya Sabha or legislative council seat. Given the numerical positioning in the legislative assembly, MVA is strategizing its approach, while the dominant BJP-led Mahayuti retains a strong hold with 232 MLAs poised to secure multiple seats.
