Asaduddin Owaisi: In Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena and Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM can contest the assembly elections together. A written proposal for this has also been given by AIMIM. If everything goes well then Owaisi will contest the elections with Mahavikas Aghadi. According to sources, 28 seats have been demanded in this proposal. In the near future it will become clear whether AIMIM will get the support of the forces included in the alliance or not.
Meanwhile, the Thackeray faction has tried to clear its stand on the AIMIM proposal. Sanjay Raut has said that it is difficult to form a new party. He will soon discuss with Sharad Pawar. On AIMIM's proposal, Sanjay Raut said that there are many small parties in Mahavikas Aghadi. The three main parties are Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena. Some organizations of CPI, Shetkari Kamgar Party, Samajwadi Party leading the Muslim community, Republican Party are with us. Meanwhile, we are finding it difficult to give seats to any new party out of the 288 seats of Mahavikas Aghadi. If Sharad Pawar takes any stand in this regard, we will discuss with him.
Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar from NCP has also given a statement on this issue. Commenting on AIMIM's proposal, Sharad Pawar has said that 'I am not involved in it. I am not aware of AIMIM's proposal. Jayant Patil is looking after this work for my party. I don't know what was offered to him. The constituent parties in MVA are discussing seat sharing.
What is AIMIM's proposal?
AIMIM has presented a written proposal to join Mahavikas Aghadi. The list of 28 seats has been submitted. After presenting this proposal on September 10, AIMIM State President Imtiaz Jalil is reported to have two positive meetings with Mahavikas Aghadi leaders. MIM has sent this written proposal to Congress-NC presidents except Uddhav Thackeray. AIMIM has prepared a list of seats where Muslim and Dalit constituencies are more. Jalil has said that 'AIMIM is ready to discuss and agree with MVA on those seats.'
