Congress seeks to contest 202 out of 36 seats in Mumbai
Congress intends to contest 20 of these seats, but Shiv Sena (UBT) is hesitant to allocate that many, aiming to contest 22 to 25 seats instead. In the 2019 assembly elections, Congress won 4 seats in Mumbai while the undivided Shiv Sena won 14 seats.
Uddhav Thackeray held a meeting with Shiv Sena (UBT) officials in Mumbai on Wednesday (July 31) to discuss the election strategy.
Senior Congress leaders, including Balasaheb Thorat, are working to resolve the seat-sharing dispute. A joint meeting of the MVA (Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi) is tentatively scheduled for August 7 to address the seat-sharing issues.
