MVA will win close to 40 seats in Maharashtra: Nana Patole

Nana Patole has a herculean and rather unenviable task ahead of him. As the head of the Congress party’s Maharashtra unit, the 60-year-old has to ensure the party recovers a fair amount of lost ground in a state where it won just one seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

So far, it hasn’t quite been smooth sailing. Patole was recently in the midst of controversy after several Congress leaders felt the party got a raw deal in the Maha Vikas Aghadi’s (MVA’s) seat-sharing arrangement. However, in an interview with HT’s Faisal Malik, Patole was confident that the MVA would win close to 40 out of the 48 seats in Maharashtra.
