Emulate Maharashtra’s MVA model at national level under UPA: Sanjay Raut

“Maharashtra has shown a new path to anti-BJP parties in the country by running an ideal government of three ideologically different parties for the last one-and-a-half years,” Mr. Raut told reporters in Mumbai.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said the experiment of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), in which three ideologically different parties came together to form a government in Maharashtra, should be emulated at the national level under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA). He also called the MVA an “ideal government”. “Maharashtra has shown a new path to anti-BJP parties in the country by running an ideal government of three ideologically different parties for the last one-and-a-half years,” Mr. Raut told reporters in Mumbai. “This experiment should be emulated by the UPA at the national level. It was also highlighted by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in her letter to 27 Opposition leaders in the country,” he added.
