Maha Vikas Aghadi

The Maha Vikas Aghadi, is a state-level political alliance of centre to centre-left political parties in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is one of the two major political alliances in Maharashtra, the other one being Maha Yuti. The alliance was formed under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray of SHS (UBT), Sharad Pawar of the NCP(SP) and Sonia Gandhi of the INC, along with the support from the PWPI, CPI(M) and several other political parties. Most of the MVA constituents are members of the Indian National Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance at pan-India level. The MVA alliance won 30 seats out of 48 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election in Maharashtra whereas on the other hand, the MVA suffered a setback in 2024, when it could only win a record low of 50 seats in the 2024 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election, with none of the parties even managing to get the number of seats to have a leader of opposition in the assembly. This stripped its status as the official opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.
