Five MLC seats, multiple rebellions: Mahayuti’s unity faces a test in Maharashtra
Elections for five Maharashtra Legislative Council seats are approaching, testing the unity of the ruling Mahayuti alliance led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The BJP's choice of Sudhakar Kohle for the Nagpur graduates' constituency has sparked internal dissent, with former MLA Anil Sole briefly announcing an independent run before withdrawing. The elections are set for October 2026.
