Abu Asim Azmi, Maharashtra Samajwadi chief, had given a deadline to his MVA allies till Saturday to agree on his demand for five seats and had threatened to field candidates on 25 seats if 5 seats were not given to SP.
Congress offered only 2 seats.
Reminding Congress of his loss in Haryana, Asim warns of division of Muslim votes in Maharashtra elections.
Abu Asim has asked for five seats. On two seats, Samajwadi has sitting MLAs (Bhiwandi East and Mankhurd). The other three seats demanded by Azmi are Bhiwandi West, Malegaon and Dhule.
Even SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also said “There’s no place for sacrifice in politics, we will fight elections alone if MVA keeps Samajwadi Party out.
With only 3 days left for the filing of nominations, the SP and MVA alliance seems to be troubled water. Hai
