Following the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s announcement of candidates for various Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat objected, claiming that the seats were still being discussed. MVA negotiation committee member Thorat slammed the Sena (UBT)'s decision to name candidates for the Mumbai South Central, Bhiwandi, and Sangli constituencies, stating that discussions about these seats were still underway. "Sena should not have announced the candidates for Mumbai South Central and Sangli. These were still under discussion," Thorat told ANI on Wednesday.

Sena (UBT) has named senior leader Anil Desai from the Mumbai South Central constituency and Chandrahar Patil in Sangli for Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
