Uddhav in Delhi to meet Congress top brass
urges MVA declare him as CM face for Maharashtra polls
MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) President and Maha Vikas Agadi (MVA) ally Uddhav Thackeray arrived in Delhi on Tuesday and is expected to urge his alliance partners—Congress and NCP (SP)—to declare him as the chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections slated for October.
Uddhav is scheduled to meet Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar as part of his three-day visit to the national capital.
Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said that Thackeray will meet all the top leaders of the MVA to discuss strategy for the upcoming assembly polls.
Referring to the MVA’s performance in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, Raut said, “We want to replicate our performance in the state assembly elections and regain power. Therefore, this meeting among top leaders is crucial.”
Notably, the MVA won 31 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra, while the NDA-led Mahayuti Alliance of the BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) and NCP (Ajit Pawar) won the remaining 17 seats.
