Key Questions Answered
Eknath Shinde planned a sudden visit to Delhi to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah primarily in the context of the announced Legislative Council elections and to directly discuss contentious seat-sharing issues within the ruling Mahayuti alliance.
Under the new seat-sharing formula, the BJP has been allotted the Pune Teacher, Pune Graduate, and Nagpur seats, while the Amravati seat went to the Shiv Sena Shinde faction and the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Graduate constituency was allotted to the NCP Ajit Pawar faction.
Intense internal dissatisfaction emerged after the Pune Teacher constituency was given to the BJP, prompting Shiv Sena Shinde faction leader Mangesh Chivte to openly raise a banner of rebellion and express firmness on contesting either as an independent or on his party symbol.
