Lok Sabha Election 2024 LIVE: NCP demands 80-90 seats for assembly polls
Maharashtra minister and senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal on Monday demanded that his party be given 80-90 seats to contest in the assembly elections due this year.
BJP is the largest party and will contest in more seats, said Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Speaking at a party’s meeting here, Bhujbal said, “When we joined the alliance (BJP-Shiv Sena), we were assured of getting 80 to 90 seats to contest in the assembly elections. However, for this Lok Sabha polls, we got very few seats to contest. We must tell them (BJP) that we want more seats to contest so that we could win around 50 to 60 seats,” he said. (PTI)
