NEW DELHI: The much-hyped reunion of the Thackeray cousins after 20 years has altered the political landscape of Maharashtra with the new alliance signalling the silent end of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) – the opposition front which Uddhav formed with the Congress and Sharad Pawar’s NCP in 2019 to keep the BJP out of power after the assembly elections.The MVA, which ruled the state for two-and-a-half years, was dealt a body blow in 2022 when the Shiv Sena and the NCP split down the middle after rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar. Despite the setback, the opposition coalition came back strongly in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, winning 30 out of the 48 seats in the state. But that glory was short-lived as the MVA was decimated in the assembly elections held later in the year and could collectively win only 46 out of the 288 seats. ‘Batenge Toh Katenge’: Uddhav & Raj Thackeray Unite For Mumbai Civic Polls | Shiv Sena (UBT) | MNS While the assembly elections had already taken the sting out of the MVA, the Thackeray alliance has now literally left the coalition on the verge of disintegration. Sharad Pawar has indicated he will align with the Thackeray cousins, but the Congress has been left in the lurch as it refused to join hands with Raj Thackeray’s MNS, given his aggressive “outsiders” pitch against north Indians. So, where does the Congress go from here? The immediate test for the grand-old-party is the elections to 29 civic corporations in Maharashtra, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, on January 15. The just-concluded municipal council and nagar panchayat elections, which were swept by the BJP-led Mahayuti, saw the Congress emerge as the main opposition party. While the Congress won 824 seats, its MVA allies – NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) – could manage only 256 and 244 seats respectively. Little wonder, the Congress, which had for some time now played second fiddle to both Uddhav and Sharad Pawar, was quick to assert that it has now emerged as the principal opposition in the state.Maharashtra Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal on Thursday said his party is holding discussions to form an alliance with Prakash Ambedkar’s Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. But will this alliance be enough to help the grand-old-party counter the force of ruling Mahayuti on one hand and the strong Marathi pitch of the Thackeray brothers on the other?The Congress move to chart its own course in Maharashtra is a bold gambit. The party which had a fairly strong presence in the state politics till 2009, has since seen its electoral fortunes decline. In the 2024 assembly elections, the Congress could win only 16 seats out of the 101 it contested in the 288-member assembly. The Congress vote share stood at 12.42% – which is the lowest for the party in Maharashtra, but still more than all other players in the state except the BJP.The Congress would be hoping to draw support from the minorities, Dalits and also the migrant voters by staying away from Raj Thackeray. It would also hope to insulate itself from anti-incumbency against Uddhav Thackeray, whose Shiv Sena has dominated the BMC for many years.However, this solo fight pitches the Congress against the BJP – which has been an undisputed winner in all recent electoral contests. The move also ends up dividing the opposition space in the civic polls, giving the BJP-led Mahayuti an advantage. The local body elections will also put to the test the Congress’s organisational strength – which has seen a decline in many states. If, despite these challenges, the Congress does manage a decent show in the civic polls, it could pave the way for a changed thinking in its alliance politics. On the flip side, a poor show could push it more towards oblivion and reduce the party’s bargaining power.The Congress, for now, says that independent contests by MVA constituents in civic elections should not be seen as a rift within either the MVA or the INDIA bloc. Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar justified the party’s solo stance and said that while the INDIA bloc had fought the Lok Sabha elections together and the MVA contested the assembly polls as a united front, local body elections operate under different political realities.However, if the Thackeray clan bonhomie translates into electoral gains for both Uddhav and Raj, the Congress will have to be prepared for a long solo stint in the state.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Officials and local stakeholders say the upcoming edition carries renewed energy, purpose and anticipation, with communities eager to share stories of resilience and revival.Celebration of culture, community and storytellingThe festival takes its name from the endangered Sangai deer, Manipur’s state animal, and symbolises the deep connection between communities and the land they inhabit.

These creations, shaped by local artisans using natural materials, mirror Manipur’s geography, cultural motifs and the close bond between the people and their environment.Visitors often enjoy intimate conversations with artisans who recount the personal histories embedded in their creations. This exchange, organisers say, is a defining feature of the festival and helps deepen connections between visitors and Manipuri culture.Music that bridges generationsMusic continues to be one of the festival’s emotional anchors. Traditional instruments blend seamlessly with contemporary rhythms as young musicians reinterpret age-old forms. This fusion — increasingly popular among younger audiences — reflects a cultural continuity where heritage evolves in step with changing times.A feast of flavoursManipuri cuisine is another highlight of the Sangai Festival.

Congress’ Manickam Tagore on protest NEW DELHI: After the revocation of their suspension on Tuesday, Congress MPs insisted that their “dignified” protest was for the demand that leader of opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi and other opposition members be given the right to speak in Parliament.Congress MP Manickam Tagore said, “Parliamentary traditions and rules must apply equally to everyone and not selectively to Opposition MPs. The Lakshman Rekha must include maintaining the dignity of the Leader of Opposition.”He said the opposition MPs protested only after LoP was not allowed to speak on the motion of thanks to the President and then representatives of 240 Opposition MPs were also “silenced”.Amarinder Raja Warring, another MP who was suspended, said the suspension period was too long. “We feel there is discrimination in the house. There is no equality. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey is given an opportunity whenever he wants. There is a free mandate for Nishikant, Anurag Thakur, Ravneet Bittu, but there is no free mandate for LoP. The Speaker sometimes discriminates, he makes biased decisions, and we feel bad,” he said.Following the withdrawal of their suspension on Tuesday afternoon, MPs Tagore, Warring, Hibi Eden, Prashant Padole, Kiran Reddy, Gurjeet Aujla, Dean Kuriakose paid obeisance to Mahatma Gandhi at his statue in the Parliament complex.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Will Maintain Exports Again’: Piyush Goyal Highlights India’s ‘Stable’ Trade Amid West Asia WarSupreme Court Strikes Down Three-Month Rule, Grants Equal Maternity Leave To Adoptive Mothers Too‘Culture Erased’ Claim Sparks Row Over Hindu Temple In Dallas Fort, Targets Indian Community OnlineIndia Urges UN Reform Amid Iran War, Seeks BRICS Unity As Conflict Divides Members’Bapu Wanted To…’: Shivraj Singh Chouhan Launches Scathing Attack On Congress Over VB-G RAM G BillNo Petrol Or Diesel Price Hike For Now Says Centre Amid West Asia Oil Market Volatility Crisis’Bundled Up And Thrown Into Jail’: Sonam Wangchuk In First Remarks After Release From NSA DetentionLok Sabha Revokes Suspension Of 8 Oppn MPs, Warns Against Placards, AI PicturesCentre Confirms All Indian Sailors, Ships Are Safe As LPG Vessels Shivalik, Nanda Devi Dock In IndiaDial PM Modi For Peace: Finland Backs India To Broker Ceasefire, Urges Trump To Call Delhi123Photostories15 die after drinking milk contaminated with ethylene glycol: How to do milk purity test and 5 other calcium-rich foods to consumeThe Great Indian Kapil Show 4 Finale: David Dhawan on Salman Khan asking him to tell Akshay Kumar not to touch him during ‘MSK’ Shoot; Kapil Sharma recalls doing Hans Baliye with wife GinniChaitra Navratri 2026: How to make Makhana Dosa for breakfast at home11 iconic Maharashtrian street foods that define regional flavours5 signs your workout routine is stressing you out instead of helping youWaiting for ‘Dhurandhar 2’?
