Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 26 (ANI): Shiv Sena UBT leader and MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday said that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) needs 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas' in the seat-sharing formula in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections, which are scheduled to take place on November 20.
"There are three political parties which are strong in Maharashtra, the Congress, NCP-SCP and Shiv Sena (UBT). I believe that the distribution of seats among these parties is fair and equal. In Haryana, Congress contested all the seats, yet they didn't form the government there. That's why we must take everyone along and move forward. If there is someone who needs the slogan of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas', it is Maha Vikas Aghadi", he said.
Earlier on Saturday, Congress' in-charge for Maharashtra, Ramesh Chennithala said that they are giving representation to all parties but said seats are limited. He continued saying that they will be holding a Central Election Committee meeting online today and added that the second list of candidates for the Maharashtra assembly polls would be announced shortly.
"The second list for Maharashtra will be announced within half an hour. Today, there is a Central Election Committee meeting online. We will file all our seats and announce them shortly," he said.
The MVA alliance revealed its seat-sharing arrangement for 255 constituencies, assigning 85 seats to each party. The remaining 23 seats in the state Assembly will be allocated based on their respective party candidate lists.
Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole confirmed on Thursday that the MVA has reached an agreement on seat sharing for the Maharashtra Assembly elections.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23. In the 2019 assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, the Shiv Sena 56, and the Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP secured 122 seats, the Shiv Sena 63, and the Congress 42. (ANI)
