MUMBAI: Maharashtra chief minister Ekanth Shinde late on Monday held a meeting of all 13 Shiv Sena MPs and initiated preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Even though there are only 13 out of the 18 Sena MPs from Maharashtra with Shinde, the Shinde Sena has staked claim to 22 Lok Sabha seats that the Shiv Sena had fought in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls when it was in alliance with the BJP. With the Sena now claiming 22 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats, seat sharing may become a tricky affair for the Shinde-BJP-Ajit alliance.
