<p>As Maharashtra’s election date approaches, anxiety over ticket distribution is growing among the allies of both the NDA and MVA. Late on Friday night, a crucial meeting of NDA allies took place in Delhi at Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence. The meeting, which lasted for two and a half hours, saw detailed discussions on seat-sharing arrangements. It is expected that the final seat allocation within the Mahayuti alliance will be announced today. Meanwhile, the MVA is still struggling to finalize its seat-sharing formula despite several rounds of discussions. According to sources, the Uddhav faction of Shiv Sena is reportedly unhappy. The dispute between Congress and Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) over seat allocation has escalated, with Sanjay Raut going as far as to say that Maharashtra Congress is incapable of making decisions. The issue will now be escalated to the Congress high command in Delhi for resolution. When asked about Raut’s comments, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole refused to respond, stating that he would not answer Raut’s remarks.</p>
