Mumbai, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday said that the opposition will win 225 out of 288 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly in the year-end elections.

Addressing party workers, he said the opposition won only six out of 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra in 2019, but this figure increased to 31 in the 2024 edition.

Pawar said, "Maharashtra is in the wrong hands. In the Lok Sabha elections, people have given results which indicate a change. The picture is that the opposition (Maharashtra) will win 225 out of 288 seats in the assembly elections."

In Maharashtra, the main opposition group is the Maha Vikas Aghadi comprising Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (SP).

The MVA won 30 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state in the 2024 elections.
