The NCP-SCP leader’s comment came days after former Maharashtra chief minister… Uddhav Thackeray He put pressure on the alliance partners to elect the CM first, rather than following the logic of which party wins more seats. He said he would back any candidate announced by the allies, Congress and PNC (SP).
The MVA is a coalition of Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT)Congress and the NCP (SP) faction led by Sharad Pawar.
“First, decide [the CM’s face] and then go ahead but don’t be guided by this policy [those having the most seats will get the CM’s post]. Uddhav Thackeray will support any candidate announced by Congress and NCP (SP) “As the face of the MVA CM, I don’t feel that I am fighting for myself, but for the rights of Maharashtra,” he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI on August 16.
Thackeray said his experience during his alliance with the BJP was that whoever had the numbers would get the Chief Minister’s post. His statement came after holding a meeting with MVA leaders.
MVA ally Sharad Pawar, however, did not address the contentious issue but stressed the need for a single-point agenda to change the government in Maharashtra if the situation in the state is to improve.
Pawar reportedly told the MVA cadres that the three partners will take on the Left groups, the Peasants and Workers Party of India (PWP) and the Samajwadi Party, by giving them due respect and presenting a united face before the people of the state.
The Congress has also set its sights on unseating the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition, with the party’s state unit chief Nana Patole saying that leaders from the INDIA bloc will decide who will be the prime minister.
Maharashtra Assembly elections are due this year. The Election Commission has not yet announced the dates of the elections.
