BJP MLC Pankaja Munde on Monday said as the most experienced leader in Maharashtra, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar should clarify his stand on the ongoing issue of Maratha quota.

The ruling Mahayuti alliance of the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP won all the nine seats it contested in polls to 11 seats of the state legislative council held on July 12.

Seat-sharing talks for the Maharashtra Assembly elections due later this year are yet to officially begin in the ruling coalition, but the tussle for constituencies has already started, sources have told NDTV.

The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) on Wednesday cited a report in an RSS-linked Marathi weekly to suggest the BJP is sending a subtle message to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led NCP to leave the ruling 'Mahayuti' alliance.

The BJP-led Mahayuti alliance - consisting of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and the NCP of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, in addition to the BJP - in Maharashtra has won six of 11 seats in MLC polls.

Resort politics has made a comeback in Maharashtra, as has the possibility of cross-voting and horsetrading, as the state gears up to hold elections for 11 Legislative Council seats on Friday.

The Opposition alliance of Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) will reveal its Chief Minister choice in due course, but the ruling coalition led by the BJP must show the "face of failure" first, Uddhav Thackeray said today

Both Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar have clearly emerged as the winners in the legacy battles for their respective parties.

Shiv Sena faction leader Uddhav Thackeray, NCP faction boss Sharad Pawar, and the Congress' Prithivraj Chavan have thanked voters for the Lok Sabha election result that favoured their alliance over the BJP's NDA.

The BJP and its ally in Maharashtra, the Nationalist Congress Party, seem to have hit a rocky road after their rivals, the INDIA alliance, won more Lok Sabha seats in the state.

NCP (SP) leader Sharad Pawar on Tuesday said the people of Ayodhya have demonstrated how to correct the "politics of temple" by defeating the BJP's candidate in the Uttar Pradesh town in recent Lok Sabha elections.

BJP leader Chandrakant Patil on Tuesday said though Uddhav Thackeray took a great deal of efforts during the Lok Sabha elections campaign, the allies Congress and NCP (SP) seem to have benefitted more than his own party.

The Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party wanted a cabinet berth in the Narendra Modi government but declined an offer from the BJP for a minister of state (MoS) with independent charge, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said.

Three days after it stunned the BJP and the breakaway factions of the Shiv Sena and the NCP by emerging as the single largest party in Maharashtra in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections, the Congress has set its sights on the next target.

While the BJP gave ticket to Ujjwal Nikam who argued against 26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict Ajmal Kasab, Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP) gave Rajya Sabha ticket to Majeed Memon, a lawyer who defended the terrorist in court.
