MVA Confident Amidst Maharashtra Poll Strategies

Prithviraj Chavan, confident in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), stresses the tradition of the largest party appointing the CM if victorious in Maharashtra. Despite Haryana setbacks, MVA's promises include allowances, loan waivers, and health insurance. Key issues are unemployment, inflation, and corruption.

Confident of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) securing a majority in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan emphasized the alliance's tradition of the largest party appointing the chief minister. He dismissed concerns over Congress' recent Haryana loss, labeling it as BJP's propaganda.

Chavan highlighted the distinctive social dynamics between Haryana and Maharashtra and assured that intra-alliance conflicts are minimal. The MVA has promised key guarantees including monthly allowances for women and unemployed youth, loan waivers for farmers, and health insurance as part of their campaign strategy.

Polling for the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly is set for November 20, with the opposition MVA comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP) facing off against the Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP. Leaders are preparing as they address issues like unemployment, inflation, and corruption.
