Seat-sharing negotiations for the Lok Sabha elections 2024  in Maharashtra have reached a critical juncture despite the upheavals and changes in the state`s politics. The BJP-led government `Mahayuti` and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi have been prioritising winnability as the key factor for seat distribution in Maharashtra which has the distinction of sending the second-highest number of MPs (48) to the Lok Sabha, after Uttar Pradesh, reported PTI. 

According to the report, since 2019, Maharashtra`s political landscape has shifted dramatically, with the Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, abandoning its longstanding connections with the BJP. As a result, both the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were divided internally.
