The '''Maha Vikas Aghadi''' or '''Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi''' (English: ''Maharashtra Development Front''), abbreviated as '''MVA''', is a state-level [[Political alliance|political coalition]] formed after the [[2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]] under the leadership of [[Uddhav Thackeray]] of [[Shiv Sena]],[[Sharad Pawar]] of the [[Nationalist Congress Party|NCP]] and [[Sonia Gandhi]] of the [[Indian National Congress|INC]], along with the support from the [[Samajwadi Party]], [[Peasants and Workers Party of India|PWPI]], [[Omprakash Babarao Kadu|Prahar Janshakti Party]] and several other political parties including Independent MLAs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.clipper28.com/en/sena-ncp-congress-alliance-could-be-named-maha-vasooli-aghadi/|title=Sena NCP Congress alliance could be named Maha Vasooli Aghadi|website=Clipper28.com|access-date=26 November 2019}}</ref>

[[Uddhav Thackeray]] was elected as the president of the MVA after a meeting on 26 November 2019. He took oath of the office and secrecy on 28 November 2019 as the 19th [[List of chief ministers of Maharashtra|Chief Minister of Maharashtra]] state.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/politics/maharashtra-govt-formation-highlights-shiv-sena-ncp-congress-meet-governor-today-stake-claim-swearing-in-tomorrow-ajit-pawar-devendra-fadnavis-resigns-maharashtra-bjp-cm-7698881.html|title=Udhav Thackeray named as CM candidate of Maha Vikas Aghadi|website=First Post|access-date=26 November 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/maharashtra-government-formation-news-live-uddhav-thackeray-swearing-in-as-cm/liveblog/72270170.cms|title=Udhav Thackeray swearing in as CM|website=Times of India|access-date=28 November 2019}}</ref>

==Background==
The alliance was formed by non-[[National Democratic Alliance|NDA]] political parties in Maharashtra as a result of [[2019 Maharashtra political crisis]] where the [[Shiv Sena]] left the NDA post-polls over differences with the BJP in their preferred candidates for [[Chief Minister of Maharashtra|Chief Minister]] and other important portfolio positions after the [[2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election]]. [[Sharad Pawar]], [[Sanjay Raut]], [[Ahmed Patel]] and other leaders across the NCP, INC and Shiv Sena worked to realise a new alliance after Shiv Sena and BJP parted ways and Shiv Sena's lone Union Minister in [[Second Modi ministry|Modi's cabinet]], [[Arvind Sawant]], tendered his resignation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/latest/943299/maharashtra-shiv-sena-mp-arvind-sawant-resigns-as-union-minister-attacks-bjp|title=Shiv Sena's MP Arvind Sawant resigns from Modi cabinet|website=Scroll.in|access-date=26 November 2019}}</ref>

Given the varied ideologies among the partner parties, there is a plan to form two committees for guidance of the coalition. A co-ordination committee for implementation of common minimum programme and other higher decision making committee that will include party chiefs. The current MVA government includes [[Shiv Sena]] leaders [[Eknath Shinde]] & [[Subhash Desai]], [[Nationalist Congress Party|NCP]] leaders [[Chhagan Bhujbal]] & [[Jayant Patil]] and [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] leaders [[Balasaheb Thorat]] and [[Nitin Raut]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/assembly-election-2019/two-panels-to-guide-maharashtra-vikas-aghadi-778689.html|title=Two panels to guide maha Vikas Aghadi|website=Deccan Herald|access-date=26 November 2019}}</ref>
