As part of its alliance with the Left parties in the elections, the Congress party in Andhra Pradesh has sealed a seat-sharing deal with the Communist Party of India (CPI), leaving one Lok Sabha and eight Assembly constituencies for its poll partner to contest.
The Guntur Parliamentary constituency and eight Assembly segments, including Vijayawada West, Visakha West, Anantapur, Pattikonda, Tirupati, Rajampet, Eluru, and Kamalapuram have been given to the CPI.
Talks are in progress with the CPI(M) on seat-sharing and sources in the Congress said efforts are on to iron out issues related to certain Assembly constituencies that are of equal interest to both the poll partners.
