The Congress will meet their Maharashtra allies in Delhi today as seat-sharing negotiations continue in the Opposition camp to take on the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The meeting comes in the backdrop of former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's party declaring they'll contest 23 seats in Maharashtra.
His party, which has lost its tag of being the "original" Shiv Sena, is a part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) along with Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress.
The Congress and other regional parties, including the AAP, Trinamool, and DMK, had formed the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) last July to put up a united fight in this year's elections. But seat-sharing remains a big challenge as they try to accommodate each other in common electoral spaces.
