Chivate Digs In On Vidhan Parishad Bid As Mahayuti Allies Squabble Over Seat

Mangesh Chivate has refused to back down from his Maharashtra Legislative Council candidacy despite the Mahayuti alliance failing to settle on a single nominee. The Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) leader insists he is contesting, while allies BJP and NCP remain deadlocked over seat-sharing. Chivate's firm stance has exposed fresh internal friction within the ruling coalition just ahead of the polls, with no resolution announced and each partner blaming the others for the stalemate.
