Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) chief Prakash Ambedkar has accused the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) of being lazy in finalising the seat-sharing deal. He has proposed to the Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to talk with his party about the seats that interest the national party instead of waiting for the Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP-Sharad Pawar.
“The dates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections could be announced this week or the next, but the MVA in Maharashtra has not finalised the seat-sharing equation within the alliance. Despite the laziness and lack of hurriedness, we remain positive, but the lazy attitude of the MVA is very concerning to say the least. I understand there is a lack of concurrence between the Congress and Sena (UBT) on at least 10 seats, and between Congress, Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) on at least five seats, which are the prime reasons why the MVA is taking time to finalise the seat-sharing formula,” he wrote in a letter to Kharge.
