Congress and NCP leaders met this morning to decide on seat sharing for Maharashtra Assembly elections but the talks remained inconclusive.

According to PTI, Senior Congress leader Narayan Rane said, the two sides have decided to meet again at 8.30 PM.

The meeting was held at Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's official residence – Varsha.

Congress has been refusing to yield to NCP's demand for equal seats, while the latter has rejected offer of 124 of the state's 288 Assembly seats.

NCP leader Praful Patel and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, state party chief Sunil Tatkare and other leaders attended the meeting to resolve the seat-sharing deadlock and salvage the 15-year-old alliance.

NCP's core committee chaired by party chief Sharad Pawar had gone into a huddle yesterday where it reaffirmed that the alliance should continue but insisted on getting a larger share of the state's 288 Assembly seats than 124 offered by Congress.
