Seat-sharing formula will be finalised soon: Sharad Pawar

NCP president Sharad Pawar today said that his party and Congress would soon finalise the seat-sharing arrangement, and would contest the coming Assembly polls in Maharashtra jointly.

The decision will be taken once Congress president Sonia Gandhi returned from abroad, Pawar said, adding that both parties wanted a pre-poll alliance.

The NCP chief is going to address a public meeting here tomorrow. He also said that forces harmful to the harmony in the country were on the rise after the NDA government came to
power.

Pawar also said that BJP won't be able to repeat its Lok Sabha elections performance in the coming elections.

State NCP chief Sunil Tatkare said at another press conference that if his party won more seats than Congress, it would stake claim to the Chief Minister's post.
