NCP keen on alliance with VBA for Maha polls: Ajit Pawar

September 23, 2019 10:05

Senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar has said his party would like to forge an alliance with the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi for the next month's Maharashtra Assembly elections. The VBA contested the Lok Sabha polls held earlier this year independently.

As a result, the Congress-NCP alliance and the VBA suffered losses, Pawar said. "We are (now) trying to bring together like-minded people. We would also like to have an alliance with VBA," he said addressing a gathering here on Sunday evening. The former state deputy chief minister said out of the total eight Assembly seats in Pune city, the NCP will contest four and the Congress-three. -- PTI
