The Congress has threatened to quit the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) if any ally violates the Constitution preamble. Congress leader and minister Ashok Chavan said the Shiv Sena had given a written undertaking to the party leadership in Delhi that the coalition government would run within the ambit of the Constitution.

The caution is significant in view of the Congress's demand to table a resolution in the Assembly, declaring that the state would not implement the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act. The Congress's threat should be a worry for the Sena that hasn't made a concrete commitment on the CAA issue yet. It had earlier only hinted that the amended law won't be implemented in Maharashtra.
