Responding on seat-sharing in the alliance, Raghav Chadha said that it is not right to comment on anything now.
"INDIA alliance is that alliance in which different parties of the country kept aside their individual interests and decided to come together, decided in the interest of the country. It is not appropriate to do regular commentary on seat sharing today. As soon as any important decision is taken, its information will be known," he said, reported ANI.
