Left Parties Push for Seat Allocation in Maharashtra's Crucial Polls

CPI(M) leader Ashok Dhawale emphasizes the importance of Left parties securing around 20 seats in Maharashtra's upcoming assembly polls. He warns against overconfidence and highlights the necessity of inclusive alliances. Left parties aim to strengthen their influence by contesting strategic constituencies, leveraging districts with strong voter bases.

Senior CPI(M) leader Ashok Dhawale has urged Maharashtra's opposition alliance not to underestimate the importance of seat allocation to Left parties in the forthcoming state assembly elections.

In a detailed interview, Dhawale stated that the Left parties aim to secure around 20 out of the 288 available seats, leveraging their established presence across various districts. He cautioned the electoral bloc against complacency, citing a narrow vote-share margin between the NDA and INDIA bloc, despite the latter's recent win of 29 seats.

With assembly elections set for November 20 and results to be declared on November 23, the push for strategic seat-sharing remains a pivotal concern for the Maha Vikas Aghadi in their bid to challenge the current NDA rule in Maharashtra.
