The Coordination Committee of the opposition INDIA bloc scheduled to meet for the first time on Wednesday, and according to details, the leaders of several opposition parties requested an early seat-sharing formula developed to ensure that a joint candidate from the opposition side presented in Lok Sabha seats in opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party candidates.
However, a number of leaders stated that in order to reach such a solution, the parties must “shed their egos” and “vested interests.”
The crucial 14-member opposition panel will meet on September 13 in the evening at Sharad Pawar, the head of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), in New Delhi.
Although no decision has made about the criteria, it is most likely to be based on how well parties performed in recent polls on a certain seat.
Seat sharing will discussed, even if it might not resolved during the meeting on Wednesday. The leaders will also set out a comprehensive plan for the election campaign to challenge the BJP, according to sources cited by news agency PTI.
Meeting of Sharad Pawar and Thackeray for India
Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), met with Sharad Pawar in Mumbai on Tuesday, the day before the inaugural meeting of the coordination committee of the opposition coalition INDIA. Their conversation lasted about 90 minutes.
The INDIA bloc’s coordination panel meeting and the present political climate in Maharashtra discussed at the meeting, according to NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) state unit leader Jayant Patil, who attended the meeting with Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut.
According to Patil, seat-sharing agreements among the state’s opposition allies would completed shortly in Maharashtra, which sends 48 MPs to the Lok Sabha, the second-highest number after Uttar Pradesh.
The seat-sharing would discussed by Thackeray, Pawar, and Congressmen Nana Patole, Balasaheb Thorat, and Ashok Chavan, according to the former state minister.
He said that the 25 seats won by the BJP or its allies in the most recent Lok Sabha elections will fairly split among the three partners in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
