During his three-day visit to Delhi, Ramesh Chennithala, Congress` Maharashtra in-charge, met with Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader. The two leaders will meet in Mumbai on August 7 to negotiate seat-sharing plans for Maharashtra assembly polls.

Thackeray`s visit to Delhi is his first since the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (SP), won 31 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra. Thackeray is likely to meet with major opposition figures during his visit, such as Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, and Congress Parliamentary Party Chief Sonia Gandhi.
