The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) faction abstained from a key Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) meeting in Pune, intended to finalize seat-sharing for the upcoming Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections. Leaders from the Congress and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) attended, but the NCP (SP) absence has fueled speculation about their commitment to the alliance. This development could delay seat-sharing talks as nomination deadlines approach.
