"Seat-Sharing On Hold For Prakash Ambedkar's Party": Sharad Pawar

Mr Pawar said seat-sharing among Maha Vikas Aghadi constituents will be finalised in the next two to three days after "issues related to the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi are resolved".

NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) President Sharad Pawar on Wednesday said seat-sharing among Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) constituents for the Lok Sabha polls is stuck as leaders are waiting for the political outfit led by BR Ambedkar's grandson Prakash Ambedkar to join the opposition bloc in Maharashtra.

Mr Pawar maintained alliance leaders have suggested giving four to five Lok Sabha seats to the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), which, he said, has given a list of 16 constituencies where it claims to have a good presence.

He expressed confidence about finalising allocation of seats among MVA allies, which currently includes the Congress, the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar), in the next two to three days.
