Tatkare confirmed that they talked about sharing seats. "Amit-bhai assured that all constituents will get a respectable share.

He also discussed strengthening the alliance by way of better coordination and unity. He was very positive," Tatkare told reporters, adding that the meeting lasted about 45 minutes.

According to Tatkare, Shah had told them that he would give his time for further talks that were likely to be finalised in New Delhi.

"We keep talking at the state level. We met in Nagpur recently," the NCP's state president and Lok Sabha member said, adding that the NCP was not uncomfortable in the NDA, because joining it with a majority was a conscious decision.
