MVA allies have reached agreement on 210 of 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra: Sanjay Raut
Mumbai, Oct 11: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi allies have worked out the sharing formula for 210 of the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra.
The alliance, which comprises the Uddhav Thackeray-led party, Congress, and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar), will declare these seats soon, he told reporters here.
"Meetings are over. We met (NCP-SP chief) Sharad Pawar on Thursday. Agreement has been reached on 210 seats. We will declare these seats. Our list is ready," Raut said.
Taking a swipe at the BJP over its victory in the Haryana assembly elections, Raut said the saffron party "should introspect on how it won."
"It should share the formula, like the EVM," he said, referring to the allegations of Opposition parties that the voting machines could be tampered with.
Congress lost in Haryana by a margin of only 0.6 per cent, and the evidence furnished by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi about irregularities in the EVMs should be considered seriously, Raut said.

Vijay calls on TN Governor, stakes claim to form govt
Chennai (PTI): TVK chief Vijay on Wednesday met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government in the state, two days after his party emerged as the single largest party but was short of a simple majority.
The TVK founder met the Governor at 3.15 pm following an invitation from the Lok Bhavan. He was accompanied by party leaders, including "Bussy" N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, C T Nirmal Kumar and others during the meeting.
Vijay met the Governor hours after the Congress party declared support and following a meeting between the TVK chief and Congress leaders here. While the TVK appears keen on securing support from the VCK and the two Left parties, who continue to be part of the DMK-led alliance, they have so far not given any positive signals.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member strong Tamil Nadu Assembly in the recently held elections. 118 is the majority mark to form the government.
Vijay is likely to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7, according to party sources.
The DMK won 59, AIADMK 47, Congress 5, PMK 4, IUML 2, CPI 2, VCK 2, CPI-M 2. BJP, DMDK and AMMK won 1 seat each.
