Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday discussed the political situation of the state during his meeting with MPs of the NDA in Maharashtra.
The meeting comes a day after Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar demanded nearly 90 seats for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) during his meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah.
During his brief meeting with Amit Shah, Ajit Pawar insisted on finalising the seat distribution as early as possible and avoiding “lingering around” till the last-minute like in the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP won just nine of the 28 seats it contested in the Lok Sabha polls, down from 23 it won in 2019.
The Ajit Pawar-led NCP won just one seat, Raigad, while the Sharad Pawar faction bagged eight.
Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena faction of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is determined to contest 100 seats while the BJP has set a target of 160 to 170 seats.
Among those whom the Prime Minister met included Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, and others.
