Congress spooks MVA with invites for all 48 LS seats; talks still on: UBT

IndiaTimes Friday, 5 January 2024
Congress invites aspirants for Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra before finalizing seat-sharing formula with Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) constituents. Talks on seat-sharing between Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena, and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) are in final stage with no differences among the parties. Congress and NCP have no objection to including VBA in MVA. Congress leaders met in New Delhi to discuss seat-sharing and invited names from interested candidates. The move sparked speculation about Congress going it alone or pressurizing Sena and NCP for more seats.

Eknath Shinde Resigns as Maharashtra CM, Speculation Over Mahayuti Alliance's Next Leadership Choice

Eknath Shinde has stepped down as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra following the Mahayuti alliance’s resounding victory in the assembly elections. Shinde submitted his resignation to Governor C P Radhakrishnan, who requested him to serve as a caretaker CM until a successor is appointed. The spotlight now shifts to the selection of the next chief minister, with BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and Shinde both emerging as contenders. The BJP, which secured 132 seats to become the single-largest party, has bolstered its claim to the top post. However, the Shiv Sena, led by Shinde, is demanding continuity in leadership, citing coalition precedents and support from the party’s MLAs and the Maratha community. #EknathShinde #MaharashtraPolitics #MahayutiAlliance #DevendraFadnavis #ShivSena #MaharashtraElections #CMResignation #PoliticalTransition #MarathaCommunity #BJPLeadership #AjitPawar #AlliancePolitics #NextCM #MaharashtraNews #PowerShift ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.101~GR.121~
