Uddhav Thackeray

The alliance between BJP and the Shiv Sena fell out after Uddhav Thackeray decided to walk out of the NDA in 2019 and formed a government in partnership with the Congress and NCP.

The hope for the MVA's survival depends on the shared suspicion over the election process and alleged tampering of EVMs, as well as the fact that the BJP remains their common enemy.

However, party leaders like Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut are reportedly keen on maintaining the MVA to present a united opposition against the BJP.

Both Lokshahi Marathi Rudra and Bhaskar Reporters Poll have not predicted any clear winner between Mahayuti and MVA in the single-phase elections held today.
