The state Congress unit has suddenly swung into action mode over multiple issues. While seeking cooperation from the ruling Mahayuti on one hand, the party simultaneously appeared combative over alleged voter fraud, the Public Safety Bill and the Maratha reservation issue.

On Tuesday, a Congress delegation comprising senior leader Balasaheb Thorat, Assembly group leader Vijay Wadettiwar and deputy legislature party leader Amin Patel met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The meeting reportedly focused on the posts of Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in both the state assembly and the legislative council.
