Maharashtra Politics in Turmoil: Congress Slams Shri Sena Amidst Shiv-BJP Rift

Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole criticized Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut over remarks on the Haryana election outcome. The tussle signifies growing friction between Maha Vikas Aghadi allies as seat-sharing for Maharashtra assembly polls remains unresolved. Congress launches a campaign against the BJP-led state government, alleging corruption and industrial flight to Gujarat.

Maharashtra politics witnessed high drama as Congress President Nana Patole responded sharply to Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut, who had attributed Congress' loss in Haryana to overconfidence. This public sparring highlights tensions within the alliance as seat-sharing talks linger ahead of Maharashtra's assembly elections.

Even as the BJP celebrated a third straight victory in Haryana, Raut's critique of Congress’ strategic decisions has underscored opposing views within the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition. Patole refuted claims of Congress' indifference towards allies, emphasizing that political dynamics in Haryana and Maharashtra are distinct.

Meanwhile, Congress initiated a campaign targeting the BJP-led government's alleged corruption, with claims about economic shifts favoring Gujarat over Maharashtra. Senior Congress leaders backed Patole's statements, challenging the state's current governance and alleged neglect of job opportunities.
