Delhi: After the Rajya Sabha in Maharashtra, the Bharatiya Janata Party and the ruling Shiv Sena are face to face on Monday over the Legislative Council elections. The special thing is that Shiv Sena had to face defeat in the Rajya Sabha elections, but this time the party is claiming victory. At the same time, Shiv Sena has also denied the matter of split in Mahavikas Aghadi.

The Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress do not want to leave any chance for the Legislative Council elections. Both the parties had a meeting with Shiv Sena chief and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The special thing is that the parties have kept the MLAs in different hotels to avoid the possibility of defection.

On Sunday, CM Thackeray expressed confidence that there is no split in the MVA. He also ruled out the possibility of cross voting. He had said, 'The defeat of the Rajya Sabha was unfortunate. Shiv Sena's votes were not divided in the Rajya Sabha. We know what went wrong. MLC elections will show that there is no division between us.

Elections are to be held on 10 seats of Maharashtra Legislative Council, on which 11 candidates are trying their luck. On the one hand, all the three parties of MVA have fielded 2 candidates each. At the same time, five BJP candidates are ready. The special thing is that in view of the current numbers in the state assembly, the victory of 9 candidates is certain. But in the 10th seat, there is a contest between Mumbai Congress chief Bhai Jagtap and BJP's Prasad Lad.

The strength of the members in Maharashtra Sadan is 288, which has come down to 285. Shiv Sena MLA Ramesh Latke passed away recently. Whereas, two NCP MLAs Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik were not allowed to vote by the Bombay High Court. Each candidate needs the support of at least 26 MLAs. In such a situation, 29 MLAs of independents and small parties will play an important role.


What do the figures of both the parties say?

With 106 MLAs BJP can win 4 out of 5 seats. However, in the fifth seat, the party will need defectors and independents. Here, Shiv Sena with 55 MLAs and NCP with 51 MLAs can comfortably win 2 seats.
