“Our discussion on almost every seat have been completed. Today, the discussions with smaller parties in our alliance will be done as well. By Monday, the full list will be released,” he said.
As Maharashtra assembly election nominations open, BJP’s Ashish Shelar visited Siddhivinayak Temple before filing his nomination for Bandra West. Shelar, the incumbent MLA, was accompanied by his wife, Adv. Pratima Shelar. Key leaders, including Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Aaditya Thackeray and MNS’ Avinash Jadhav, have also recently filed their nominations, with BJP leaders like Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis set to follow.
On Thursday, October 24, Congress announced its first list of 48 candidates for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections. The list includes prominent figures such as state party chief Nana Patole, who will contest from Sakoli, former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan from Karad South, and Vijay Wadettiwar, the Leader of Opposition in the outgoing Assembly, from Brahmapuri.
Of the 48 candidates, Congress has retained 25 sitting MLAs.
This announcement follows the declaration by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, consisting of Congress, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), and Shiv Sena (UBT), that they will contest 85 seats each in the November 20 elections. However, discussions about the allocation of the remaining 33 seats among smaller parties and the three main allies are ongoing.
