The MVA, a coalition of Congress, NCP(SP), and Shiv Sena(UBT), faced a humiliating defeat in last month’s Maharashtra assembly elections. The MahaYuti alliance, comprising BJP and Shiv Sena-NCP, secured a commanding victory with 235 seats, while the MVA was limited to just 46 in the 288-member assembly.
This defeat has significantly impacted the political atmosphere in the state, leading to recent high-profile meetings.
