Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole on Monday (October 21), speaking to reporters after meeting with party leaders in Delhi, said that the Congress party held discussions over 96 seats in the Maharashtra assembly elections and that “discussions on further seats will be held later.” Nana Patole also added that he and other Congress leaders will meet Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai on Tuesday (October 22) over seat-sharing discussions. However, the Congress leader denied any such issues in the MVA.
Patole’s comments comes even as there are talks of rift in the Maha Vikas Agadhi (MVA) over the issue of seat-sharing for Maharashtra assembly elections.
Nana Patole also said that Congress is likely to come out with its first list of candidates on Tuesday (October 22).
“We had discussions over 96 seats. Tomorrow, we will meet Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar and discuss seat-sharing arrangement for another 30-40 seats,” said Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole.
Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar on Monday said that the final decision on all 288 seats for Maha Vikas Aghadi for the Maharashtra assembly election will be made by tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.
Speaking to reporters in Delhi, Wadettiwar said, “By tomorrow evening, we will finalise the 17 seats. There are issues on 6-7 seats in Vidarbha and that too will be resolved. We are going to contest as Aghadi. Since there are 3 parties sharing 288 seats, it took a little time. Final decision on all 288 seats for Maha Vikas Aghadi will be made by tomorrow evening.”
Sanjay Raut Refutes Claims Of Meeting Union HM Amit Shah
The Maha Vikas Aghadi has reached consensus on 210 of the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra, said Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday.
The statement from Raut also comes amid speculation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah having a phone conservation with him.
“The BJP is feeding false news. We know who is doing it. The party fears loss in the assembly polls so is spreading misinformation,” said Raut.

Mumbai: The police have claimed to have arrested three masked robbers who ransacked a Jain temple in the limits of the Sewri RA Kadwai Marg police station.

They stole the idol’s ornaments – gold tikka, gold kapati, silver mace, donation box worth a total of more than Rs 7 lakh and cash and fled.
During the theft, the unidentified robbers had damaged the CCTV camera and video footage and had also cut its wires, so it was difficult to find them, but the police team examined more than 70 CCTV footage at 29 places in the area, in which these accused were identified. The accused had covered their faces with a handkerchief so that they could not be identified. However, using technology, the police arrested the three thieves, Sunil Singh Suraj Singh, Rahul Singh Parveen Singh, and Jagar Dinesh Singh Vaghela.

SP leader Raees Sheikh writes to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vishnu demanding special trains for UP and Bihar

Mumbai: In the wake of the unavailability of train tickets for North Indians from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Samajwadi Party legislator Raees Sheikh on Saturday demanded that the Railways run special trains from Mumbai to these states. Sheikh made the demand after images of crowding of people on train tracks and railway platforms and lack of basic civic amenities went viral on social media. A large number of people from the North Indian community are upset due to the lack of proper train services.
In his letter to Railway Minister Ashwini Vishnu, Sheikh said that railway stations like Bandra Terminus, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and Dadar are crowded with passengers for tickets. A large number of North Indians travel to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar during the summer, which coincides with the wedding season. Lack of sufficient trains and resulting overcrowding are causing severe hardship to the North Indian community in Mumbai, said MLA Raees Sheikh, who demanded that the Railways immediately run special trains from Mumbai to Gorakhpur, Patna and other places in Purvanchal, departing from Bandra, LTT and CST stations. Sheikh added, “The Railways should also set up proper help desks and GRP assistance booths at major stations in Mumbai to manage the crowd and assist passengers.” He further stressed on the need to add additional general and sleeper coaches in all trains going to UP to accommodate the rush. He also urged the Railways to take all necessary steps to ensure better coordination with the authorities concerned.
