Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 31 (ANI): Amid speculations of a friendly fight among Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in some seats in state assembly polls, Nationalist Congress Party (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar said on Thursday that he underscored that the alliance partners will soon sit down to find solutions on seats where more than one nomination is being filled from MVA.

“I don’t have much detail about it because I am not part of all these talks. our other leaders are looking into it, but I know there are some 10-12 seats where two nominations are being filled from the alliance…in the next two-three days we will sit together to find the solution for it,” Sharad Pawar said.

NCP-SCP chief Pawar further highlighted that his party will go among the people with their manifesto and ideology, exuding confidence in getting support from the people of Maharashtra.

“We will go among the people with a manifesto and our ideology so that we can get the support and help from the people …We will be starting election campaigning from November 6 in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray and myself… I am sure the people of Maharashtra will give us immense support, Pawar added.

Meanwhile, Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja slammed Congress for not taking into confidence the alliance parties in the INDIA block over seat sharing and said that instead of questioning the BJP, Congress should question itself.
