In Pachora, Thackeray's cousin Vaishali Suryavanshi has been fielded against Shinde MLA Kishor Appa Patil. In Balapur, Nitin Deshmukh has been given the ticket once again.

The development comes as the Maharashtra assembly elections will be held on November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies will be held on November 23.

Addressing a press conference, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said consensus has been reached on 270 out of total 288 seats for the November 20 elections.

"We will include Samajwadi Party, PWP, CPI(M), CPI, and AAP. Discussions are still on for the remaining seats. We have amicably arrived at a consensus on 270 seats.

MVA stands united to defeat the Mahayuti government," Raut said.

Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said the rest of the seats will be left for smaller parties.

Earlier in the day, Sanjay Raut said that the list of candidates got delayed because the MVA is going to form government in the state of Maharashtra. 

"There is no seat-sharing formula of Maha Vikas Aghadi. MVA's list got delayed because we are going to form the Government. Others are going to sit in Opposition. We will come to power, so we have to choose candidates and seats very carefully. Our complete list will be released by 4 pm today. The work has almost been completed last night. There are no disputes or differences among us. Everything is going well," said Sanjay Raut.

Further clearing the air around the speculation of a tussle over seat-sharing in Maha Vikas Aghadi, Raut said, "There is no difference of opinion among us. There is no animosity. Everything is going well."

Exuding confidence over the victory of Maha Vikas Aghadi in the Maharashtra assembly elections, Sanjay Raut said that Shiv Sena (UBT) will secure a century of seats and that the country wants them to win 100 seats.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde also exuded confidence in the Mahayuti alliance winning the state's assembly polls with a big majority.
