Discussions continue over seat sharing for Lok Sabha elections: Congress

The Congress is unlikely to give up the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat to the Aam Admi Party (AAP) as part of a seat-sharing pact, Congress sources said on Friday.

The party asserted however that seat-sharing talks with all partners including the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal are underway. “Talks with [West Bengal Chief Minister] Mamata Banerjee are continuing, but the alliance has not been given its final shape,” Mr. Ramesh told reporters at AICC.

On Thursday, The Hindu, reported that talks between the Congress and TMC had revived and discussions with other allies too had picked up.
