There are assembly elections in Maharashtra and only 30 hours are left for the nomination. The ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi alliance face each other in the elections. But both alliances could not reach a consensus on many seats. MVA is yet to declare candidates for 29 seats and Mahayuti for 53 seats. Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party, an ally of the MVA, appears to be taking a different path.
Both alliances are believed to be at odds with their allies on the issue of seat sharing and due to lack of consensus, many other seats have also been put on hold. However, it is likely that this afternoon or evening both parties will clarify their positions and the names of all candidates will be announced.
Nomination deadline until Tuesday afternoon.
Assembly elections are being held in Maharashtra for 288 seats. Voting will be in a single phase on November 20 and the results will be known on November 23. The last date to submit nomination proposals is October 29. This means that candidates will only be able to submit nominations until 3 p.m. on Tuesday. Subsequently, the nomination papers will be examined on October 30. Nomination papers can be picked up until November 4. There are 36 districts in Maharashtra and 9.63 million voters. The term of the assembly here will end on November 26.

The Uddhav faction has published three lists of candidates in MVA. The names of a total of 84 candidates have been declared in them. The Congress has declared a total of 101 candidates in four lists. Likewise, Sharad Pawar’s party has announced the names of 76 candidates in three lists. The three parties have declared candidates for a total of 261 seats. At the moment there is a dilemma over 27 seats. In some places divisions are seen among the allies. The party cannot achieve the result because more than one candidate is contesting some seats. There are some seats where two parties have declared candidates. The SP is demanding five seats in the state.
However, MVA has fielded candidates for three of these seats. There is tension here regarding consensus. According to sources, the Congress can contest elections between 103 and 108 seats. Uddhav’s Shiv Sena can field candidates for 90-95 seats. The Sharad Pawar group’s NCP can contest the elections between 80 and 85 seats. Earlier, in the joint press conference of the three parties, Sanjay Raut had announced the presentation of candidates according to the 85-85-85 seats formula. While Congress’s Balasaheb Thorat had announced fielding of candidates in 90-90-90 seats.
