Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party will not fight the upcoming Assembly elections in Maharashtra but the AAP convener will campaign for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, said party leader Sanjay Singh on Saturday.

The MVA coalition consists of Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT), Sharad Pawar’s NCP-SP, and the Congress.

“In the Maharashtra elections, the party’s National Convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, will campaign for the MVA candidates. Aam Aadmi Party will not contest elections in Maharashtra,” Singh said in a post on X.

According to reports, the AAP was contacted about Kejriwal campaigning in the state by the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP-SP. Voting in 288 Assembly seats in Maharashtra will take place on November 20.

Kejriwal is also set to campaign for Hemant Soren’s ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in Jharkhand Assembly polls. Kejriwal will campaign on the seats, where his appeal would translate into votes for INDIA Bloc, especially on urban seats

In Jharkhand, the BJP will be contesting the upcoming Assembly elections in alliance with the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United) (JD-U), and the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP). On the other hand, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Rashtriya Janata Dal, and the Congress are contesting the election together.

Voting in Jharkhand will be held in two phases on November 13 and 20, while the counting of votes in both states will take place on November 23.

AAP and the MVA constituents are part of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), which was formed before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls to take on the BJP.

AAP entered into an alliance with the Congress, the largest constituent of the INDIA bloc, in Delhi, Gujarat and Haryana for the Lok Sabha polls. However, it contested on its own in Punjab.

AAP also contested the recent Assembly elections in Haryana independently and failed to open its account.

The Congress is also a constituent of the MVA in Maharashtra and a part of the ruling alliance in Jharkhand.

According to the government, a total of 56 aircrafts are there under the C-295 programme, of which 16 are being delivered directly by Airbus from Spain and remaining 40 are to be made in India.

Tata Advanced Systems is responsible for making these 40 aircraft in India and this facility will be the first private sector FAL for military planes in India.

It will involve the full development of a complete ecosystem, from manufacture to assembly, test and qualification, to delivery and maintenance of the complete life cycle of the aircraft, the statement said.

“This will be the first private sector Final Assembly Line (FAL) for military aircraft in India,” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement on Saturday.

Apart from Tatas, leading defence public sector units such as Bharat Electronics Ltd. and Bharat Dynamics Ltd, as well as private Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises will contribute to this programme, as per the release.

Maharashtra elections: Congress alleges MLAs offered crores to join Ajit Pawar’s NCP

“It comes under anti-defection law,” the Congress leader said.

The Congress on Saturday alleged that crores of rupees have been reportedly offered to two of its MLAs to join Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction, ahead of state Assembly elections.

Congress in-charge for the State, Ramesh Chennithala, alleged that two MlAs from his party were offered crores of rupees to join the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

Chennithala made those allegations while speaking to reporters in the national capital. He also questioned the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Speaking to reporters, he said, “Reports are coming out that crores of rupees have been offered to two MLAs to join NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).”

“It comes under anti-defection law,” the Congress leader said.

He wondered why the Chief Minister who is in charge of the home department is silent. He said the CM has the responsibility to tell the people what has happened.

“Offering and accepting bribes is a criminal activity,” he said. However, the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction has not yet responded to the allegations.

On Friday, Zeeshan Siddique, son of former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique, who was shot dead recently, joined the NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar.

In August, Siddiqui was expelled from Congress over the accusation of cross-voting in Maharashtra legislative council elections.  

Both the ruling Mahayuti alliance and the Opposition MVA comprising the Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (Sharad Pawar), and Congress have intensified their preparations for the upcoming elections to 288 Assembly seats in the state.

The BJP is part of the ruling Mahayuti alliance alongside the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) and Ajit Pawar-led NCP.

Voting for all 288 constituencies for the Maharashtra Assembly elections are set for November 20 and counting on November 23. In the 2019 Assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, the Shiv Sena 56, and the Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP secured 122 seats, the Shiv Sena 63, and the Congress 42.
