NDTV
Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam has hit back, saying the Shiv Sena (UBT) cannot win any seat on its own.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut asserted on Friday that his party would contest in 23 of the 48 Lok Sabha constituencies in Maharashtra next year and said their talks with the Congress on seat-sharing have to start from zero as it has "not won any seat" in the state.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Raut said discussions on the seats won by the Shiv Sena, the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party will be held later.
In the 2019 general elections, the undivided Shiv Sena under Uddhav Thackeray had contested 23 seats and won 18. However, it split last year after Eknath Shinde rebelled against Mr Thackeray. Later, the Election Commission allowed the Shinde faction to keep the 'Shiv Sena' name.
