"Uddhav Thackeray Navigates Seat-Sharing Challenges in MVA Amidst National Alliance Talks"
Uddhav Thackeray, the chief of Shiv Sena (UBT), has assured that the party's ticket distribution for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra will not harm the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, despite Sanjay Raut's controversial statement about contesting 23 of 48 seats. Thackeray's comments are seen as a rebuke to Raut and aim to maintain harmony with allies Congress and NCP. He has communicated with Congress leaders and emphasized a smooth collaboration with the NCP, while also mentioning ongoing efforts to potentially include Prakash Ambedkar's Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi in the MVA.
