As the countdown for the Lok Sabha elections has started, a tussle has started over the distribution of 48 seats in Maharashtra. Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi leader Prakash Ambedkar also attended the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) meeting held on Wednesday, but he did not give any indication on seat distribution. There is talk that 20 seats have been divided, while 28 will be discussed on March 9. More or less, the situation is the same with the ruling party Mahayuti also.
In Maharashtra, the ruling party and the opposition are claiming that the seat sharing issue has been settled amicably. But, there are some key constituencies and candidates which are yet to be decided at both the party and alliance levels. Three of the controversial seats are from Mumbai. Besides, there are one seat each in Thane, Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Satara and Nagpur.
Shah's meeting with Shinde and Ajit Pawar
Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday. The seat-sharing formula was discussed in this meeting. Shah's visit to the state, a few days before the announcement of Lok Sabha election dates, is considered important for seat sharing with allies, as allies Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and NCP (Ajit faction) are demanding more seats. .
