Breaking News Updates: Accused In Gauri Lankesh Murder Joins Eknath Shinde's Party Ahead Of Maharashtra Assembly Polls
As the date of elections in Maharashtra is coming closer day by day, the tensions between the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), state's opposition alliance is rising and becoming evident as there is spar over the seat-sharing pact. The show of tensions within the alliance becomes public after the Congress and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) indulge in war of words as there is spar over key assembly constituencies.Amid an impasse over seat-sharing among MVA parties in poll-bound Maharashtra, Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday cautioned that haggling among allies, particularly the Congress, must not be allowed to reach a breaking point. Addressing a press conference, the Sena (UBT) chief maintained he has not heard from his party leaders involved in seat-sharing talks with other MVA constituents that there was any major issue in clinching a deal for the November 20 elections to the 288-member assembly. Seat-sharing talks among partners in the opposition alliance -- the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) -- were in final stages and a deal could be sealed by Saturday or in the next 2 to 3 days, Thackeray emphasised.While Thackeray appeared cautious in his remarks over reaching a consensus, his party colleague and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut was more harsh in his criticism aimed at Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole. He claimed state Congress leaders were not capable of taking decisions on distribution of assembly constituencies and sought to instil a sense of urgency in wrapping up talks as just a month is left for voting. "The pending decision should be expedited. Very little time is left (for voting). Maharashtra Congress leaders are not capable of making decisions. They have to send the list to Delhi (central leadership) frequently and then discussions happen. The decision (on constituency allocation) will have to be taken at the earliest," Raut emphasised.
