Congress's Salman Khurshid, who attended the meeting for Uttar Pradesh, said things were going in the "right direction".
Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi -- an alliance of Shiv Sena UBT, Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress -- have come to an understanding on the division of the state's 48 seats. After a meeting this evening, Sena's Sanjay Raut said that he was smiling was "an indicator" of how the meeting went.
"We are all together and will be united... we have discussed each and every seat," Mr Raut told reporters after the mega meeting, which went on for nearly three hours.
"We will be the first state to announce seats... The Shiv Sena May have spilt, but the people are with the Uddhav faction and the same with the NCP... We will be together for the elections," senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, the Congress's state in-charge, told NDTV.
