Seat-sharing: RPI sets deadline

Mumbai: As a part of the pressure tactics being employed by smaller partners of the ‘Mahayuti’, Ramdas Athawale led RPI (A) has urged the BJP and Shiv Sena to finalise Assembly seat-sharing agreement by September 10. “We have long been demanding that BJP and Shiv Sena should give at least 14-15 seats to us for the assembly polls. But there has been a complete stalemate over seat-sharing. If there is no final decision by September 10, we will be forced to reconsider our decision to be a part of Mahayuti,” said Arjun Dangle, state spokesperson of RPI, here on Wednesday.
