Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Sunday said that seat-sharing discussions among the ruling allies for the upcoming Assembly polls will conclude in the next 10 days. He emphasised that the allocation of seats will be based on the winnability of the candidates rather than the number of seats each party contests, news agency PTI reported.
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Bawankule said, "The seat-sharing talks within the Mahayuti alliance will be wrapped up in 10 days. Our focus is on ensuring that seats are allocated based on winnability. We will leave some seats for our allies, but the number of seats on which each party contests is secondary. What matters is maintaining a double-engine government to continue the welfare schemes."
