Akhilesh Singh was continuously meeting Lalu Tejashwi demanding increase in seats for Congress. Meetings were held two-three times. They were also together in the flight, after which Tejashwi met the Congress leadership. A solution was found through negotiations.
Let us tell you that there were reports of displeasure from Mukesh Sahni regarding the distribution of seats in the Grand Alliance. He had said that the Grand Alliance is unwell and all the doctors are in Delhi, so I am going to Delhi and will tell after returning to Patna. However, now the news is that VIP chief Mukesh Sahni has agreed to seat sharing and is satisfied with 15 seats.
In such a situation, speculations are being made that on Tuesday (October 14), a formal announcement of seat sharing can be made by the Grand Alliance and soon the political parties can announce their candidates.
