Sharad Pawar Initiates Talks With Congress Ahead of BMC Polls: Sources
Ahead of the BMC elections, Sharad Pawar-led NCP has reportedly initiated back-channel talks with Congress to form a potential third front in Mumbai, possibly including the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi. The proposed alliance is seen as a counter to the Thackeray brothers' political influence and could reshape the city's opposition landscape. Sources indicate the NCP has offered Congress 50 seats, but whether this will be sufficient to finalize a deal remains uncertain.
