The Congress released its first list of 118 candidates for the Maharashtra State elections just short of midnight on Wednesday, a signal to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) that its patience was running out.

For even on Wednesday evening, the NCP refused to budge from its demand for 144 seats in the 288-strong Assembly and several of its leaders said in Mumbai that they would file their nominations on Thursday morning, a move that is being seen as an attempt to force the Congress to concede more seats.

The Congress’s first list predictably contained the names of its top leaders: Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan from Karad South, campaign chief Narayan Rane, Padamrao Kadam, Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Kripashankar Singh, Balasaheb Thorat, and two members of Gen Next, Amrit Vilasrao Deshmukh and Praniti Shinde.
