  • Maharashtra's opposition MVA claims Leader of Opposition and deputy speaker posts despite failing to secure 10% of assembly seats after recent polls.

This meeting occurred amidst ongoing political negotiations and power-sharing discussions.

The demand comes at a time when political alignments are still fluid, and the allocation of key posts remains a contentious issue.
