Maharashtra assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting set for November 23.
So far, the BJP has released only one list of candidates and is expected to announce a second list soon.
Earlier this week, a crucial meeting took place in Delhi between Home Minister Amit Shah and leaders of the Mahayuti alliance, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Fadnavis, and Ajit Pawar, to resolve seat allocation disputes. Most of the contentious seats have been agreed upon, but a few remain undecided. Further discussions are planned in Mumbai to finalise arrangements.
