Mumbai: Senior Maharashtra Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat on Saturday said the MVA can win 40 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra if its constituents - Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) - fight the 2024 elections together. State Congress president Nana Patole said the workers want the party to contest maximum number of seats.  

Thorat said that the seats where the Congress did not contest earlier but have a good support base should be given to the party as part of the seat-sharing arrangement in the MVA. Following the discussions, party functionaries demanded the state leadership to stake claim to these seats, he said. Thorat, who is also the Congress Legislature Party leader, said the people of the country have come to know about the problems faced by Rahul Gandhi due to his 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'.  

Meanwhile, Patole said the two-day review meeting of the party focused on assessing the organisational strength and ensuring that party workers work in a manner that the MVA wins maximum number of seats. "The seat-sharing formula has not been decided yet. Our workers told us that Congress should contest maximum number of seats. We are a national party. The countdown for the Modi government has begun. We will work unitedly to defeat the Modi government and save the country. There is discontent among the people against the Centre and the Eknath Shinde government. ''
