As a quid pro quo, the Congress leader proposed to give the vacant seat in the Maharashtra Legislative Council to Uddhav Thackeray in return for the only winnable Rajya Sabha seat for the MVA in Maharashtra, sources said.
Senior Sharad Pawar-led NCP leader met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray here on Friday at his Bandra East 'Matoshree' residence to explore the possibility of an alliance to contest the forthcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation election scheduled to be held on January 15, 2026.
He said in the remaining assembly constituencies, the other parties of the INDIA bloc, including Samajwadi Party (SP), will field candidates.
Ambedkar highlighted lack of coordination among MVA partners Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SCP) and the Congress as reason behind the delay in seat sharing.
