The leaders of the three allies were candid in admitting that a divided MVA would give the BJP a cake-walk at the hustings. (PTI/File)The Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance’s unanimous resolve to put up a united fight in the 2024 Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Maharashtra is set to pose a major challenge to the ruling coalition of the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led rebel Shiv Sena faction.
In its first meeting after the BJP toppled the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government in collaboration with the Shinde Sena, the MVA Tuesday decided that the Uddhav-led Sena, NCP and Congress will contest both the coming Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in the state together.
Evidently, the MVA constituents have decided to stick to each other with an overriding agenda to oust the BJP from power. The leaders of the three allies were candid in admitting that a divided MVA would give the BJP a cake-walk at the hustings. Despite setting ambitious electoral targets for itself, the BJP reckons that if the Uddhav Sena,
NCP and Congress fight the coming elections together the move would consolidate their support bases, making the saffron party’s battle tougher.
BJP insiders said that the party has already swung into action to redraw its election strategy accordingly. The saffron party believes that along with a strong agenda to appeal to the people, it will also have to get its electoral maths right. The BJP central leadership has set for its Maharashtra unit a target of 42-plus seats out of the total 48 Lok Sabha seats and 200-plus of the 288 Assembly seats in the state. A senior BJP leader, requesting anonymity, said, “One of the reasons why BJP was desperate to break the MVA government was to unsettle them.”
