Amid the stalemate over government formation in Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar is likely to arrive in Delhi today (4 November) to meet with Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.
The leaders of the two allied parties are expected to discuss the unfolding political situation in the state of Maharashtra. They may clarify their stand after the meeting whether to support the Shiv Sena, which is unhappy with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its ally.
All the top leaders of the Congress party from Maharashtra have met Sonia Gandhi and briefed her about the developments. They have also met Pawar.
While some Congress leaders, like Hussain Dalwai are openly advocating extending support to the Sena for forming the government, others, like Sanjay Nirupam, are advising caution.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that amid the stalemate, the Shiv Sena has claimed support of 175 legislators.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
