NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday held discussion on seat-sharing in Maharashtra for the Lok Sabha elections next year.
After the joint opposition protests at Jantar Mantar, Mr Gandhi drove with Sharad Pawar to the latter's 6, Janpath residence.
The two leaders were closeted for some time and learnt to have discussed seat sharing among the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi partners Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP for the Lok Sabha elections.
Pawar is keen on accommodating smaller parties such as from the Left, Peasants and Workers Party and Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi in the opposition alliance as they have certain pockets of strength in the state.
The NCP veteran is also keen on finalising the seat sharing in Maharashtra early so that joint rallies of the coalition could be organised for campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. PTI SKU ZMN
