Be Ready To Contest 225-250 Seats Maharashtra Polls: Raj Thackeray To MNS Workers
NDTV
Formed in 2006, the MNS contested its first assembly elections in 2009 and bagged 13 seats. Its performance in the 2014 and 2019 state polls, however, was lackluster with the party bagging only one seat each time.
MNS chief Raj Thackeray today asked the party workers to be prepared to contest 225-250 out of the 288 seats of the Maharashtra assembly in the coming elections, a senior party leader said.
Talking to reporters after a meeting here, MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar said party functionaries will visit different regions of the state and give a report to Thackeray about election preparations.
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena or MNS had declared support for the BJP-led NDA during the Lok Sabha elections. Raj Thackeray also campaigned for the NDA though his party was not in the fray anywhere.
