Maharashtra Elections: We will sit together to find solution, says Sharad Pawar on friendly fight within MVA

Amid speculations of a friendly fight among Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in some seats in state assembly polls, Nationalist Congress Party (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar said on Thursday that he underscored that the alliance partners will soon sit down to find solutions on seats where more than one nomination is being filled from MVA.

"I don't have much detail about it because I am not part of all these talks. our other leaders are looking into it, but I know there are some 10-12 seats where two nominations are being filled from the alliance...in the next two-three days we will sit together to find the solution for it," Sharad Pawar said.

Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar), along with Congress, is in alliance with Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) under the Maha Vikas Aghadi banner.


NCP-SCP chief Pawar further highlighted that his party will go among the people with their manifesto and ideology, exuding confidence in getting support from the people of Maharashtra.

"We will go among the people with a manifesto and our ideology so that we can get the support and help from the people... We will be starting election campaigning from November 6 in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray and myself... I am sure the people of Maharashtra will give us immense support, Pawar added.

Maharashtra elections will be held in a single phase on November 20 with counting of votes held on November 23.

Meanwhile, Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja slammed Congress for not taking into confidence the alliance parties in the INDIA block over seat sharing and said that instead of questioning the BJP, Congress should question itself.

"Instead of questioning the BJP, Congress should question itself. How is it planning its electoral strategy? How is it completing its seat-sharing arrangement with other parties?" he said.
