NCP's Sharad Pawar; Supriya Sule and Jitendra Awhad will be present. The meeting began around 11 am at the Trident Hotel in Mumbai.

 
Which party will contest how many seats and which seats are likely to be discussed today. Meanwhile, the NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress, allies of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, are yet to reach an agreement on seat-sharing. The Shiv Sena is firm on 23 seats. The Congress also wants more seats.  Talks are also focusing on giving three seats to Prakash Ambedkar and Raju Shetty.  A decision in this regard may be taken today.

The Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and the AAP in Punjab did not agree on seat-sharing for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Therefore, both these parties have decided to leave the 'India' alliance. Therefore, all eyes are on the Maha Vikas Aghadi meeting in Maharashtra to be held today.
