Following the breakdown of seat-sharing talks between the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), VBA chief Prakash Ambedkar has now targeted Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole, alleging that he was in cahoots with leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Even as Mr. Ambedkar continued to take shots at Mr. Patole, the latter’s party colleague – Congressman and Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar - on Monday said that the Congress could reconsider arrangements on the Akola Lok Sabha seat if the VBA was indeed willing to back the Congress on seven Lok Sabha seats as Mr. Ambedkar had earlier proposed.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Ambedkar wondered if some leaders in the Congress had a ‘secret relationship’ with some BJP leaders in Nagpur and other Lok Sabha constituencies.
