Time running out for MVA in Maharashtra
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|January 13, 2025
Just as the INDIA bloc threatens to unravel, there are signs that a subset, the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra may be among the first to implode.
-
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has indicated his party may go solo in the upcoming local body polls unless the Congress acts to save the alliance.
This development is not unexpected. The MVA is an unnatural alliance with no common ideological ground among its three constituents. The Shiv Sena (UBT), the Congress, and the NCP-SP came together in pursuit of office. Having performed disastrously in the assembly election, there is no incentive for them to stick together now.
