In a confident statement ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections vote count, senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat declared that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) would successfully form the next state government.

Thorat, the Congress frontrunner for the Chief Minister's post, asserted that the coalition—comprising Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena—would not face hurdles in securing the majority. He met with leaders Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar to discuss the election strategy.

Running for his ninth term as an MLA from Sangamner, Thorat is challenged by Amol Khatal from the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. The constituency is pivotal, forming part of the Shirdi Lok Sabha seat.
