Congress rejects Shiv Sena (UBT)’s demand for 23 seats in Maharashtra for upcoming Lok Sabha elections

Congress has rejected ally Shiv Sena (UBT)’s demand for 23 seats in Maharashtra for the Lok Sabha elections next year. The development came after leaders met to discuss seat sharing among the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi partners — Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP — for the Lok Sabha polls. Former Chief Minister and senior Maharashtra Congress leader Ashok Chavan said there was a need for adjustment among the parties. “While every party desires a larger share of seats, the demand for 23 seats by the Shiv Sena was excessive given the current circumstances.”
