Congress has completed the screening process for 96 seats in Maharashtra so far. The party is expecting to secure around 110 seats as part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance.
To discuss issues related to the alliance, senior Maharashtra Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat will meet Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar in Mumbai at 3 PM on Tuesday, October 22.
In the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, Congress, which is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), is expected to contest 110 seats.
The party is likely to receive these 110 seats within the MVA alliance, but Congress will also need to accommodate the Samajwadi Party within this allocation.
Regarding the seat-sharing dispute with the Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction), Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole made a statement on today, October 21. He assured that the Maha Vikas Aghadi will contest the Maharashtra Assembly elections in a united manner and emphasized that there are no differences between the allied parties.
