"Dispute over 25 to 30 seats in MVA"
Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Friday said there was a deadlock among the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi constituents over 25 to 30 seats for the upcoming state assembly elections and the party unit will accept any decision of the high command on the issue. Patole said talks on seat-sharing in the MVA ended on Thursday. "Shiv Sena has given a list of around 48 seats while the Congress has claimed 18 of them. There is a dispute over 25 to 30 seats. We have informed our party high command about this and will abide by our leadership's decision on the issue," he said.
