The countdown to the Maharashtra Assembly elections has begun. Polling in the state will be held on November 20 and the last date to file nominations is October 29. But the ruling Mahayoti Alliance and the MVA are still stuck on the seats. The seat-sharing issue is so complex that to resolve it, meetings of the Mahayutth alliance are being held from Maharashtra to Delhi. Recently, a meeting of Mahayut’s leaders was held at the residence of Delhi Home Minister Amit Shah. Meanwhile, there are tensions between the MVA (Congress, Sharad faction and Uddhav faction) over the issue of seat distribution.
First, let us know how many candidates the MVA and Mahayuti alliance have fielded so far.
There is a problem with 41 MVA seats!

Total 247
Seats remaining – 41
Something is wrong with Mahayuti’s 73 seats!
Bharatiya Janata Party – 121
Shiva Sena – 45
NCP-49
Total – 215
Seats remaining – 73
Who releases how many MVA lists?
Let us tell you that the Uddhav faction has so far announced three lists of candidates, the first list has 65, the second has 15 and the third has 4, while the Congress party has so far announced Three lists, the Congress Party announced that the first list of candidates has been released, the second list has 48 candidates, the second list has 23 candidates, and the third list has 16 candidates. Candidates for 45 seats in the first list, 22 seats in the second list and 9 seats in the third list have been announced, but 41 seats still face difficulties.
Mahayut has yet to field candidates in 73 seats.
On the other hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party announced a total of 121 candidates for the Mahayutth alliance. The party released two lists for this purpose. There are 99 seats in the first list and 22 seats in the second list. The Shiv Sena of the Sindh group in the BJP alliance has released only a list in which the names of 45 candidates have been announced. Meanwhile, the National Congress Party of the Ajit faction fielded a total of 49 candidates. The party announced 38 candidates in the first batch of lists, 7 in the second batch of lists and 4 candidates in the third batch of lists. . However, candidates for 73 seats have yet to be announced.
What did SP say?
Meanwhile, on the issue of seat sharing with Maha Vikas Aghadi, Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi said that we have spoken to Sharad Pawar. They said we would make a decision by Saturday, but I didn’t get any calls. The seat I requested is being announced. I think we’re going to have to deal with betrayals like the past two terms. It seems they do not want to give up the seat to the Samajwadi Party. I don’t want the MVA to be broken and the votes to be split. But if they don’t listen to us, we have no choice but to fight the election alone. I have spoken to Akhilesh Yadav. He gave me complete authority. We are not like the Congress where even important leaders have to travel to Delhi to get permission for everything, which creates delays. It’s very late.
