Gadkari meets Maharashtra BJP leaders

In a bid to resolve the seat-sharing issue between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena for the October 15 elections in Maharashtra, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday met Maharashtra BJP leaders who flew down to Delhi from Mumbai.

“The talks are inconclusive. We are trying to resolve the issue. Today’s [Tuesday’s] discussion is critical. We are looking at seats that the Shiv Sena and the BJP have never won,’’ said State BJP president Devendra Fadnavis.

Among others who attended the meeting were MLC Vinod Tawde, Sudhir Mungantiwar, former BJP State president, and Ravinder Bhusari, organising secretary.
