In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the MVA maintained an upper hand, securing 7 seats—Kolhapur, Sangli, Madha, Shirdi, Ahmednagar, Shirur, and Solapur—while the Mahayuti managed to win only three—Pune, Satara, and Hatkanangle.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, composed of Congress, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), and Shiv Sena-UBT, is aiming to retain control of the region. Meanwhile, the ruling Mahayuti alliance, consisting of the BJP, NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), and Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), is working to woo voters and improve their electoral prospects.
Sharad Pawar has been actively campaigning in the region, and Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, will be making his second visit to the area within a month. The MVA is striving to send a strong message that it stands with the farmers. Gandhi, who earlier visited Sangli, will visit Kolhapur on October 4-5.
As the MVA's chief strategist, Sharad Pawar has not only been mending differences with local rival leaders but also revitalizing the party’s grassroots workers—crucial for maintaining the party's winning margin.
