Seat-sharing negotiations for the Lok Sabha elections 2024  in Maharashtra have reached a critical juncture despite the upheavals and changes in the state's politics. The BJP-led government 'Mahayuti' and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi have been prioritising winnability as the key factor for seat distribution in Maharashtra which has the distinction of sending the second-highest number of MPs (48) to the Lok Sabha, after Uttar Pradesh, reported PTI. 

According to the report, since 2019, Maharashtra's political landscape has shifted dramatically, with the Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, abandoning its longstanding connections with the BJP. As a result, both the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were divided internally.
