The Maha Vikas Aghadi partners are out to use the Gudhi Padva muhurat on Tuesday to exploit the Marathi plank and also to bury the difference over seat-sharing. They have promised to announce all 48 seats at a joint press conference here on Tuesday.

Of the three, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress have been at loggerheads over a couple of seats in Mumbai, and Sangli where the former had announced its candidates without consulting the partner. The state Congress made it a matter of prestige and escalated it to the party’s high command in New Delhi. The Sena hadn’t relented till Monday and maintained its claim on the constituency.
