Cracks in MVA? Congress will contest Maharashtra assembly polls alone, ready to be CM face, says Nana Patole
Zee News
The Shiv Sena, which was one of the oldest allies of the BJP, had forged an unlikely alliance with the NCP and the Congress after the 2019 state polls to form the MVA government, after parting ways with the BJP over the issue of sharing the chief minister's post.
MUMBAI: In yet another sign of widening cracks in the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition government in Maharashtra, the state Congress chief Nana Patole on Monday said that his party will contest the upcoming assembly elections alone. Asserting that Congress would be the biggest party in 2024 in the state, Paole said that no amount of sidelining will make Congress go. Patole even said that he is ready to be the chief ministerial face of the party if the Congress top brass decides so. While speaking in Amravati, Patole said, "I am the Congress chief of state. So, I will give the point of view of my party. I don't know what he (Sharad Pawar) said but Congress has made it very clear that we will be going solo in all local body elections and assembly polls. Don't you want to see Nana Patole made CM?"More Related News
