Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis revealed on Saturday that positive discussions were conducted in Delhi regarding the Mahayuti alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, with "80 per cent" of the issues already resolved.
The discussions, which included Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, focused on seat-sharing in Maharashtra, stated another report.
While addressing reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis expressed optimism about the outcome, stating, "Very positive discussions were held in the meeting yesterday. I can say that 80 per cent of our issues have been solved, and talks are going on for the remaining 20 per cent. And, I believe that the remaining issues will be resolved, and a good alliance will be formed."
The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, is poised to contest the Lok Sabha elections together in Maharashtra, a state that holds significant sway with its 48 parliamentary seats, the agency report added.
The dynamics of Maharashtra's political landscape have seen significant shifts, with the Shiv Sena parting ways with the Congress and NCP in 2022, aligning itself once again with the BJP, while the NCP joined forces with the ruling coalition.
