Following the souring of the seat-sharing deal with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) chief Prakash Ambedkar has sharpened his attack against the Opposition parties.
On Friday, Mr. Ambedkar, the grandson of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, accused the Opposition coalition of having done ‘match-fixing’ with the ruling BJP on at least 20 Lok Sabha seats.
After the breakdown of his alliance with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) and the VBA’s parleys with the MVA over seat-sharing, Mr. Ambedkar has targeted Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole, accusing the latter of having reportedly formed a ‘covert’ alliance with some BJP leaders.
