It may be recalled that as per the previous seat-sharing agreement in MVM, like the Shiv Sena (UBT) party and Sharad Pawar, the Congress also got 85 seats. This is how an agreement was reached between the three component parties for 255 seats. In the seat-sharing, all three parties will be fighting for 270 seats. This means that a decision on 15 seats is yet to be taken. The remaining 18 seats of 270 each will be shared among other allies. There are a total of 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra.
