Chavan, however, said that the issue of seat-sharing is open for discussion.
“We will decide on the figure on how many seats to be contested. Our motive is to keep the communal forces at bay,” the Chief Minister said.
Chavan also expressed his reservations about the Home portfolio being with the Sharad Pawar-led NCP.
“I don't think there is any state where the Home ministry is with the alliance partner. But in Maharashtra it has been there since 1999. Though there is not much of a difficulty due to it, sometimes problems are faced in reaching a consensus.”
