The Konkan region comprises two primary sections: the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and the rural areas encompassing Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg districts.
The tranquil Konkan coastal region is gearing up for a heated political showdown in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections. The clash between the incumbent Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) revolves around the two Senas.
The competition for the 75 seats in this region will primarily involve the two factions of Shiv Sena – one under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray and the other under Chief Minister Eknath Shinde – following the division within Shiv Sena in June 2022.
