Tensions rose within Maharashtra's ruling 'Maha Yuti' alliance as Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar faced protests led by a local BJP leader during his campaign in Pune. The protesters accused Pawar of sidelining BJP leaders in government meetings. NCP leaders urged BJP's Devendra Fadnavis to resolve the issue for alliance unity. The discord comes after a disappointing Lok Sabha election outcome, with ongoing disagreements over seat allocation for the impending assembly elections. NCP is demanding 75 seats, but BJP is reluctant to concede this number, intensifying the friction.
