Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on March 16 said the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has given a proposal for four seats to Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Ambedkar has been in seat-sharing talks with the MVA constituents — Shiv Sena (UBT), Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) and the Congress. He has been critical of the Congress, alleging a lack of coordination during the discussions.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Raut said, "Out of a list of 27 seats the VBA gave us, we have sent them a proposal for four seats. We have asked Ambedkar to consider the four-seat offer and let us know what more they want. Our doors are open to the VBA." MVA leaders held a meeting with senior Congress leaders from Delhi last night. However, representatives of the VBA remained absent, having participated in the talks earlier.
