PUNE: The leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Congress and Shiv Sena have expedited talks to contest the forthcoming Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections together following the decision on reservation of seats for women in civic polls by the state election commission.
The preliminary round of discussion took place recently among leaders of all the three parties in which various formulas on sharing of seats were put forth. However, a final decision on contesting the polls jointly is yet to be taken. Workers of the three parties said they have a common agenda to keep the BJP out of power in the PMC.
