The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is facing challenges in finalizing seat-sharing talks, with Vidarbha emerging as a contentious issue between the Congress and Shiv Sena. The MVA may announce its first list of candidates for strong seats before Dussehra, leaving the more controversial Vidarbha seats for later discussion. The recent anti-BJP sentiment in Vidarbha has heightened the importance of getting the seat-sharing formula right in this region.
The MVA is strategizing to counter the ruling Mahayuti government’s ‘Ladki Bahin scheme’ with proposals to increase benefits for women voters. Additionally, they plan to unveil a ‘Guarantee Card’ outlining key government schemes and launch a manifesto focusing on policies and allegations against the current government. Terms like ‘Gaddar’ and ‘Khoke’ are expected to feature in the campaign against key opposition leaders.
Stay tuned as the MVA navigates through these challenges and prepares for the upcoming elections in Maharashtra.
