Party ready for any situation, tussle between Congress and Uddhav Sena over seat sharing

Mumbai. Exactly one month is left for the Maharashtra assembly elections, but till now the opposition alliance MVA has not presented the seat sharing formula. There are also reports that there is a lot of tension between the Congress and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). Senior leaders of both the parties have reached the door of Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar. Voting will be held in the state on November 20.

Congress meetings canceled
According to the report, the meetings of the Election and Screening Committee of the AICC were to be held on Sunday, but they were canceled due to lack of consensus on seat sharing. It is being said that the committees can meet again in the next 1-2 days. Meanwhile, talks on seat sharing had started again in the MVA on Saturday.

Giving such indications
Talking to the newspaper, a Congress official said that if there is no consensus on seat sharing, the party is ready for any situation. At the same time, senior Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has also said that anything can happen in politics. On Saturday itself, Congress’s Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala met Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Pawar.

Pawar’s door
It is reported that Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray and MLC Anil Parab have also met senior Pawar. According to the newspaper, the officials say that the meeting was held due to the manifesto, but political experts believe that the dispute over the seat has not been completely settled yet. It is especially going on between Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress. On Sunday, Uddhav Thackeray also held a meeting of party officials at Matoshree.

CWC member Naseem Khan has also been fielded by the AICC to handle the situation. He told the newspaper, ‘I had a brief meeting with Sharad Pawar regarding the disputed seats. As the architect of the MVA, he has met both Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut. I am confident that the dispute will be resolved after Sharad Pawar’s intervention.’

According to the report, the Congress official said about the Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), ‘Their demands are not genuine. They are demanding seats where their presence is almost zero.’
