In maharashtra, bjp released the first list of lok sabha candidates on 13 March. In response to the question when will the second list come, deputy cm devendra fadnavis said that it will also come soon. Our discussion is going on now, we will be able to complete it very soon. 80 percent of our work has been completed, 20 percent work is left. In response to the question that there is talk of raj Thackeray's party joining nda, fadnavis told the media that I cannot say anything officially about it. There are a lot of discussions going on but if any decision is taken then we will let you know. Recently, the discussion that raj Thackeray will join nda had gained momentum in the political circles of Maharashtra. But now that the announcement of lok sabha seats in maharashtra has started, the question is whether NDA's door is closed for them or there can be an announcement in the future.
On Wednesday, bjp announced candidates for 20 lok sabha seats in Maharashtra. It includes the names of many senior party leaders including nitin gadkari, piyush Goyal, Pankaja Munde.
nda in maharashtra includes bjp, cm Eknath Shinde and deputy cm Ajit Pawar. While bjp has announced its candidates, its remaining two allies have not announced their tickets yet. There are total 48 lok sabha seats in Maharashtra. bjp may announce candidates on some more seats. bjp will field candidates on maximum seats in Maharashtra. After bjp, shiv sena and the least seat will be given to ajit pawar faction in NDA. In the last lok sabha elections, bjp and uddhav Thackeray's then shiv sena had contested the elections together. But now there has been a split in Shiv Sena. The real shiv sena is cm Shinde while uddhav thackeray has shiv sena (UBT).
