Shiv Sena leader in Maharashtra Sanjay Raut on Friday expressed disappointment over the delay in seat-sharing talks between MVA allies and claimed that Maharashtra Congress leaders are “not capable of taking a decision”.
Speaking to reporters, Raut said the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) partners – Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) – have reached a consensus on 200 of the 288 assembly seats.
The Rajya Sabha member said he spoke to Congress general secretaries KC Venugopal and Mukul Wasnik and the party's Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala on seat sharing on Friday morning. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said that he would also talk to top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi later.
Raut said, “The pending decision should be expedited. There is very little time left. Maharashtra Congress leaders are not able to take decisions. They have to repeatedly send the list to Delhi and then discussions take place. The decision should be taken as soon as possible.” Should go.”
Late Thursday evening, Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole said a list of 20-25 assembly constituencies, where the MVA partners have overlapping claims, would be sent to the high command of each party to resolve the impasse.
Patole told reporters that the final meeting of MVA leaders involved in seat sharing talks was held on Thursday. He said that efforts are being made to announce seat distribution for all 288 constituencies by October 18-19.
In the Lok Sabha elections, MVA performed impressively by winning 30 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra. Assembly elections in the state will be held on November 20 and counting of votes will take place on November 23.
