'Mahayuti' deadlock over seat-sharing continues

September 24, 2014 01:33

Notwithstanding initial signs of a rapprochement, BJP-Shiv Sena-led 'Mahayuti' tonight failed to resolve its differences over seat-sharing for the Maharashtra Assembly polls with smaller parties expressing disagreement over the meager share offered to them.

The seat-sharing talks in Mahayuti, a rainbow alliance of six opposition parties, hit a roadblock amid reports that though Sena was agreeable to accepting BJP's demand for 130 of state's 288 Assembly seats, it had rejected suggestions to whittle down its own quota of 151 declared by Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, leaving barely 7 seats for four smaller partners.
