After Backing Mahayuti In Lok Sabha Polls, Raj Thackeray’s MNS To Go Solo In Maharashtra Elections
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray, who has announced his support for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, has decided that his party will contest the upcoming state Assembly election alone, according to reports.
Rumor has it that his party may field candidates in over 225 assembly seats. The Maharashtra assembly has a strength of 288 members.
According to an India Today report, Raj Thackeray did not like some of the schemes announced by the CM Eknath Shinde government, such as Ladli Behna and Ladla Bhai. Under these schemes, cash has been promised to women and youth.
The ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising BJP, Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP, hasn’t finalized seat sharing for the upcoming assembly elections.
The negotiations are expected to be intense, with each party striving for the maximum number of seats. Shinde’s Shiv Sena aims to contest 126 out of the 288 seats, but sources told India Today TV that they are unwilling to accept fewer than 100. Meanwhile, the BJP is targeting 150 seats.
According to India Today, Ajit Pawar recently met with Home Minister Amit Shah and requested 80–90 seats for the NCP. During the brief meeting, Ajit Pawar emphasised the need to finalise seat distribution promptly to avoid last-minute decisions, as happened in the Lok Sabha elections.
Ajit Pawar is keen to contest in 54 seats the unified NCP won in the 2019 Assembly elections. Additionally, he aims to contest 20 seats against Congress in the western Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Northern Maharashtra (Khandesh) regions, as per reports.
The Deputy Chief Minister is also interested in contesting 4–5 seats in Mumbai, where the minority community is dominant, against Congress.

State ready for Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat Mahayuti elections: Chief Minister Fadnavis

In the Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat elections in Mumbai state, Mahayuti will contest the election as a united front and even where there is no electoral consensus in Mahayuti, there will be a friendly contest and it is hoped that the people of the state will trust Mahayuti in these elections. This claim has been made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. No formula for the distribution of seats in Mahayuti has been decided so far for the local body elections. However, where the alliance party and the BJP are strong, a formula for a solo contest has been decided, just like the talk of Eknath Shinde in Thana and BJP’s solo contest in Pune is common.
Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and said that it is his job to insult him. If he is visiting the state, it is a good thing, but the people know everything and they will restore faith in Mahayuti in the elections. He said that the Election Commission has announced the elections. Uddhav Thackeray and the opposition want to postpone the elections, so they are alleging irregularities and rigging in the voting list. However, the Supreme Court has issued instructions to hold the elections soon, so it is not possible to postpone or delay the elections. Fadnavis expressed confidence that he has faith in the people. This time too, the people will agree with Mahayuti. Therefore, the opposition wants to postpone and postpone the elections, while Mahayuti is ready for the elections.
