The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday released the third list for the upcoming Assembly elections in Maharashtra. The third list has names of 25 candidates. With this, the BJP has named candidates for 146 seats in total, following its two lists of 99 and 22.
The Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP, Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction), and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, has yet to finalise seat-sharing details.
Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that that discussions are still ongoing among the three allies over the allocation of the remaining seven to eight seats for the state assembly polls next month.
With the Maharashtra Assembly elections approaching, both the Mahayuti alliance and the opposition MVA are intensifying meetings to finalise seat-sharing agreements. While the MVA works through internal differences, the Mahayuti alliance focuses on distributing its remaining seats.
The state’s 288-seat assembly will go to the polls on November 20, with vote counting on November 23. In 2019, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena 56, and Congress 44, while in 2014, the BJP secured a stronger victory with 122 seats, Shiv Sena 63, and Congress 42.
