Mumbai: After the Congress’ rout in Lok Sabha polls, its key ally NCP on Friday demanded more seats for itself in the Maharashtra Assembly elections due later this year while attributing the debacle to “complete breakdown” of dialogue between ruling UPA allies.
At a brainstorming session to identify reasons for the loss and devise strategy to win in the Assembly polls, NCP chief Sharad Pawar made a pitch for his party getting more seats.
The Maharashtra Congress chief Manikrao Thakre, meanwhile, said that the NCP should stake a claim to more seats during the co-ordination committee meet of both parties, rather than speak about it to the media.
