Possibility of split in Mahavikas Maharashtra Assembly Elections: Raut warns Congress against fielding candidate on Solapur South seat

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday (October 28, 2024) warned the Congress against fielding a candidate in the Solapur South assembly seat, for which his party has already announced its candidate.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Raut said such actions could provoke a similar reaction from their side and create “problems” for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
“The Congress has announced its candidate [Dilip Mane] from the Solapur South constituency in its new list. This has happened when we have already fielded our candidate [Amar Patil] from the same seat. I consider it a typing mistake by the Congress. Such a mistake can happen from our side as well,” he said.
“I have heard that local Congress leaders are keen to contest from the Miraj assembly constituency, which is part of our seat-sharing formula. If this infection [of fielding candidates against allies] spreads across the state, it will create problems for the MVA,” Mr Raut said.
The Congress, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (Uttar Pradesh), the Congress and the NCP (SP) are part of the opposition MVA, which is challenging the ruling Mahayuti.
When asked about the Congress contesting more seats in Mumbai, Mr Raut said, “The party is demanding one more seat in Mumbai. Traditionally, the Shiv Sena has been contesting more seats in Mumbai. The party is needed in Mumbai, just as the Congress is needed in the Vidarbha region.”
Congress state president Nana Patole said the party high command has decided to contest from the Solapur South seat.
“We, at the state level, cannot comment on this. My humble suggestion to Mr Raut is that he should direct his criticism towards the opposition. The issue of filing nominations will be over by tomorrow.”
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on November 20 and the MVA has announced candidates for over 200 seats. However, there is a deadlock between the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Congress over some seats.
