Hours Before Maharashtra Nominations Close, Suspense Continues Over Seat Division

On the eve of the last day of filing of nominations, decision on nine seats in the ruling alliance is yet to be announced.
The assembly election in Maharashtra this year has gone off script, with no clarity on which party is contesting how many seats in the ruling alliance or the opposition front. On the eve of the last day of filing of nominations, decision on nine seats in the ruling alliance is yet to be announced.
The image on the other side is even more blurred. The Maha Vikas Aghadi, which made headlines for weeks over its tussle over seat sharing, is yet to provide a final frame. The alliance has already gone past the 85-85-95 seat sharing and announced disparate number of seats.
Even so, there has been no announcement on 16 seats, while its other allies, including Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party, wait in the wings.
