The Maha Vikas Aghadi (transl. Grand Development Front; abbreviated as MVA), is a state-level political alliance of centre to centre-left[b] political parties in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is one of the two major political alliances in Maharashtra. The alliance was formed under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray of SHS (UBT) (then Shiv Sena), Sharad Pawar of the NCP(SP) and Sonia Gandhi of the INC, along with the support from the Samajwadi Party, PWPI, CPI(M) and several other political parties including Independent MLAs.[2][3] MVA is currently the [4][5] official opposition in Maharashtra Legislature.[6] Most of the MVA constituents are members of the Indian National Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance at pan-India level.
