Maharashtra assembly polls: Division of Mumbai seats an uphill task for MVA

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: The opposition Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi is in a tough spot over allocation of seats in Mumbai among the constituents for the upcoming assembly polls. Shiv Sena, which had won 14 seats in Mumbai during the 2019 assembly poll when the party was undivided and three seats during the recent Lok Sabha poll, believes they are in the strongest position among the allies. “This is because Shiv Sena realised during the Lok Sabha polls that it has started getting Muslim votes,” said an MVA insider. The party had secured four seats in the city in the previous assembly poll and one seat during the recent Lok Sabha poll. The Sharad Pawar-led NCP, which won eight out of the ten seats it contested during the Lok Sabha poll, though none in Mumbai, has sought seven seats.
