Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) leader Prakash Ambedkar, on Friday, announced that his party would align with whichever group in the Maharashtra assembly elections holds the numbers to form the next government. Ambedkar, the grandson of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, made this statement through a post on the social media platform X, emphasising that the VBA would choose to support the side capable of forming the government.

"If VBA gets the numbers tomorrow to support a party or an alliance to form the government in Maharashtra, we will choose to be with one who can form the government. We will choose power!" wrote the prominent Dalit leader in his post, signalling the party's pragmatic approach to the upcoming political manoeuvrings.
