The Congress party has expressed support for Sharad Pawar in the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls, as the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance reaches a consensus.

The Indian National Congress has asserted its claim on the seventh Rajya Sabha seat from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance.

The Nationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar (NCP-SP) skipped an Opposition meeting, fueling speculation about a potential merger and raising concerns about the unity of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance.

This comes after initial disagreement between the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance constituents regarding the lone winnable Rajya Sabha seat.

A dispute has emerged within Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi over the allocation of the lone Rajya Sabha seat that the Opposition bloc can secure, potentially straining their fragile alliance.

The upcoming Rajya Sabha elections will test the fragile alliance and unity of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in one crucial seat.

For the first time in Maharashtra's history, the budget session will be held without leaders of the opposition in either House, a development termed a 'threat to democratic norms' by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) opposition.
