Political activities have intensified in Maharashtra ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. Assembly elections are to be held in the next two months. All political parties, including the Mahavikas Aghadi group, have started preparations for the elections. For the last few days, the leaders of Mahavikas Aghadi have been meeting in a five star hotel in Mumbai. In this meeting, first of all, a decision was taken regarding the Mumbai meetings. Different claims were made by each party in this meeting.
There are total 36 assembly seats in Mumbai. Out of these seats, Shiv Sena’s Thackeray faction is willing to contest 20 to 22 seats. The list of possible 22 candidates of the Thackeray group has come out.
Let us tell you that Uddhav Thackeray’s group had demanded to reveal the CM’s face during the assembly elections, but the other constituent parties of Mahavikas Aghadi, Congress and NCP Sharad Pawar, have rejected Uddhav Thackeray’s demand. These leaders say that elections should be contested for the post of CM without a face.
