Congress brings Uddhav Thackeray back to seat sharing negotiations

A day after Uddhav Thackeray warned the Congress that seat sharing talks should not be stretched to a 'breaking point' and his party boycotted the seat sharing talks for the Maharashtra assembly, the Congress leadership managed to coax Thackeray back to the negotiating table.

Senior Congress leader and Maharashtra in charge Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday came to meet Uddhav Thackeray at the latter's residence in Matoshree where the Congress leader coaxed the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction following which the latter decided to send party leaders for seat sharing talks.

"There are no differences, I just came to meet uddhav Ji as he had just returned from the hospital and I wanted to inquire about his health, the health of Maha Vikas Aghadi is also fine," said Chennithala after meeting Thackeray.


The Congress leader had come to meet Thackeray after the UBT faction boycotted the seat talks claiming that it would not hold talkswith State Congress Chief Nana Patole.
