Prakash Ambedkar made explosive remarks on camera just ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections.
Maharashtra Assembly Elections are slated to be held later this year and the VBA has declared its first list of candidates.
Hot seats in Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The fight is between BJP's Anup Sanjay Dhotre, Congress' Abhay Kashinath Patil and VBA's Prakash Yashwant Ambedkar in this constituency in the upcoming general elections. It will be interesting to watch who wins the seat.
The Congress leader's remarks came days after VBA declared the names of eight candidates in Maharashtra, signalling that Prakash Ambedkar was no longer pursuing to tie-up with the MVA in the state for the Lok Sabha polls.
Prakash Ambedkar said that this proposal from the VBA to the Congress is "not only in goodwill but also an extension of a friendly hand for a possible alliance in the future".
MVA has offered four Lok Sabha seats to the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), which is for the latter to consider, Sanjay Raut had said earlier. The MVA has now given an ultimatum to VBA to clarify its stance on the matter.
Lok Sabha election 2024: Countering Ambedkar for making misleading statements, Raut reiterated that the VBA’s list of 27 winnable seats was given to the MVA leaders who discussed it, and from those 27, they have decided to allot four seats to Ambedkar, who has to take a final call.
MVA constituents - Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) headed by Uddhav Thackeray and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) - have been holding hectic parleys for the last several days to reach a consensus on the allocation of seats but to date, no solution was achieved.
Maharashtra has a total of 48 Lok Sabha seats but the decision on seat-sharing between MVA members is yet to be made. Ambedkar exposed the cracks in the I.N.D.I.A bloc ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
Maharashtra has a total of 48 Lok Sabha seats and is the second state after Uttar Pradesh to have the maximum number of parliamentary seats. Lok Sabha elections are due to be held in April-May.
Earlier, a letter signed by Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole, Jayant Patil of the NCP’s Sharad Pawar faction and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut was sent to Ambedkar, requesting him to depute senior leaders from the VBA to join the seat-sharing talks.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi will hold a meeting today in Mumbai to discuss the seat-sharing formula among the I.N.D.I.A bloc allies in Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The alliance had also invited Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar to attend the meeting.
Maharashtra: Prakash Ambedkar, the national president of Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi (VBA), criticized Congress leader Nana Patole sharply in a written letter, accusing Congress of playing mind games or having a 'locha' (issue) in their decision-making.
In 2019, the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) led by Prakash Ambedkar contested the Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra independently and dented the Congress' prospects in some seats.
VBA chief Prakash Ambedkar has written to MVA leaders in Maharashtra that defeating PM Modi should be their only priority and asked them to decide on his proposed formula for seat sharing in next year's Lok Sabha elections.
