Lok Sabha Election: MVA to Announce Lok Sabha Candidate list

The Hindu  

Hours after Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Nana Patole’s announcement that the list of candidates for the coming Lok Sabha election would be unveiled in a day or two, the grand old party on Thursday released its first list of candidates for Maharashtra, featuring MLA Praniti Shinde, daughter of former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde contesting from Solapur, Chhatrapati Shahu Shahaji Maharaj, a descendant of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, from Kolhapur, and Gowaal K. Padvi, son of former Minister K.C. “The list includes former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde’s daughter Praniti Shinde from Solapur, Vasant Chavan from Nanded and Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj from Kolhapur,” they said. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis took a jibe at the MVA over seat-sharing for Lok Sabha election and said that MVA leaders have been holding meetings for two months but haven’t reached a decision yet and the BJP, in just one meeting, took 80% decisions on seat-sharing. The Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar’s recent offer of support to Congress for seven Lok Sabha seats has added a new dimension to the political discourse, signalling potential shifts in alliances and strategies.
