Maha Vikas Aghadi Allies Discuss Rajya Sabha Seat Allocation Amid Maharashtra Polls

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance in Maharashtra faces internal discussions over the allocation of its single likely winnable Rajya Sabha seat amid seven retirements, including Sharad Pawar and Priyanka Chaturvedi. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray claims both seats for his party based on assembly strength and parliamentary performance, while Sanjay Raut indicates that if Pawar wishes to contest, the alliance will deliberate. The opposition's reduced numbers limit them to one seat, prompting ongoing negotiations among MVA partners.
