Senior Congress leaders from Maharashtra to meet Sonia in Delhi

01 Nov 2019 Evaluate

Congress leaders Balasaheb Thorat, Ashok Chavan and Prithviraj Chavan from Maharashtra will meet interim party president Sonia Gandhi at her residence amidst the ongoing disputes between BJP and Shiv Sena over the government formation in Maharashtra.

In recently concluded Maharashtra elections, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance won an absolute majority in the Maharashtra assembly polls with the former emerging as the single largest party in the state with 105 seats. However, they are yet to stake a claim for the formation of government in the state.

The Shiv Sena has been saying that there was a 50-50 power-sharing agreement between the two parties but Fadnavis has said that the party's ally was not promised the Chief Minister's post for two-and-a-half years when the alliance was finalized before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Shiv Sena bagged 56 seats in the elections. NCP won 54 seats in the assembly while the Congress won 44 seats in the 288-member assembly.
