Lok Sabha elections 2024 | MVA will win over 50% seats in Maharashtra: Sharad Pawar
The Hindu
Sharad Pawar predicts MVA will win over 50% of Maharashtra's Lok Sabha seats, criticizes BJP's claims and tactics.
Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on April 20 said the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra will win more than 50% of the Lok Sabha seats in the State.
There are 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra. As per the seat-sharing agreement among the three MVA parties, the Shiv Sena (UBT) is contesting 21 seats, the Congress 17 and the NCP (SP) 10. These three parties are fighting the national elections as part of the Opposition INDIA bloc.
Talking to reporters Ahmednagar, Mr. Pawar said there could be disagreements among the INDIA bloc partners over certain seats, but attention should not be paid to it.
The broader understanding among the Opposition parties is to win the polls to provide a stable government, he said.
He termed as wrong the BJP's 'Abki baar, 400 paar' slogan of winning 400-plus seats in the Lok Sabha polls.
The Opposition won six seats in Maharashtra in the 2019 parliamentary polls — four by the undivided NCP and one each by the Congress and the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) each.
"This election will see a rise in this number. We will win more than 50% seats in Maharashtra," Mr. Pawar said.
