Mahavikas Aghadi party leader.
On the one hand, in Maharashtra, the grand alliance (BJP, Shiv Sena “Shindhi faction” and NCP “Ajit faction”) has started announcing coordination seats. On the other hand, the seat distribution between Mahavikas Aghadi (Congress, Shiv Sena “Uddhav faction” and NCP “Sharad faction”) remains complicated. Sources said there is not much dispute between the NCP on Mahavikas Aghadi’s seat but there is a deep dispute between the Shiv Sena and the Congress on 16-18 seats.
In fact, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) is demanding 12 to 14 seats in Vidarbha region. He said that in the past few elections, the Congress kept losing to the BJP in these seats. Congress, meanwhile, claims that Vidarbha has been its stronghold. Today she was strong there again. The Samajwadi Party also has problems.
SP with 2 MLAs requires 12 seats
The SP has 2 MLAs in Mahavikas Aghadi, demanding 12 seats. However, the idea is to give it only 5-6 seats. This is only a dispute in Maharashtra, so the UP too remains stuck between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. In this context, party president Nana Patole informed the high command about the entire incident.
It was then decided that only these names should be decided at the Central Executive Committee meeting, which Aghadi did not dispute. After that, the three parties should hold a joint press conference in Mumbai tomorrow to announce the consensus reached by the three parties. Earlier, after meeting the high command this evening, Congress leaders will further discuss the contentious seats reserved for allies after the CEC. The finalized content will be announced via shared PC tomorrow.
Even in the Lok Sabha elections, the tug-of-war continued till the last minute.
Even after tonight’s meeting, if certain seats are still controversial, we will continue to discuss them further. In fact, Maha Vikas Aghadi must have an alliance. Even if there is some delay. This strategy has been prepared to convey this message. It is worth noting that this tug-of-war continued until the last minute in the Lok Sabha elections. But the Shiv Sena is not ready to give up the Sangli seat to Uddhav. Congress then sent rebels there and the entire Congress section openly supported him and enabled him to win.
