Mumbai: The tussle over seat sharing continues to rock Maharashtra Assembly elections as the Congress has on Saturday warned the National Congress Party that it may go alone in the state polls. The decision came during the Congress Chief Election Committee meet which was discussing candidates for elections.

Congress leader Manikrao Thakre has said that the NCP is being unclear about how many seats they want to contest, adding that the party will be forced to contest elections alone if the NCP delays its decision.

Thakre said, “If the NCP remains stubborn on its stand, then we will have to contest alone. The high command will discuss the formula in terms of numbers.”

NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had said that decision to contest for 144 seats was a justified demand. The party had even threatened to break the alliance.

NCP leader Nawab Malik said, “Talks regarding the alliance between NCP and Congress haven’t progressed the way we were expecting them to. We are expecting a notification as soon as possible. The Congress needs to find a solution soon so that the candidates for the elections can be named. “

On Thursday, Pawar had said that past mistakes will not be repeated if the NCP emerges as the single-largest party, as it did in 2004 Assembly polls.
