The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance consisting of the Congress, Sharad Pawar-led NCP and the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) will contest for 85 assembly seats each in the Maharashtra Elections 2024, said Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut. He further said that the MVA's unity comes before the people and that the elections must go on without any hindrance, ANI reported.

"Yesterday a list came on X, that will have to be rectified because there are a lot of corrections in it. It will be done today. We have reached a consensus on the 85 seats for the three parties and the work will be completed in the remaining assembly constituencies by this evening. Our small parties will also have to be given seats. We will discuss that as well," said Sanjay Raut, cited by ANI.
