Maharashtra election campaign peaks, the political gallery is keenly watching whether the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will be able to repeat its Lok Sabha poll-like impressive show by retaining popular interest in its 'Save Constitution' narrative and by holding onto the Maratha-Dalit-Muslim social combination that it had rallied to outmatch Mahayuti six months ago.
