Congress is likely to contest 98-104 seats in the Maharashtra assembly elections , with the party set to announce its remaining candidates late Friday and Saturday. After a meeting of the AICC central election committee (CEC), general secretary in-charge Maharashtra Ramesh Chennithala and state president Nana Patole refused to reveal the number of seats that Congress will contest. Chennithala said the seat-sharing talks are in the final stage and the final split among allies will be announced on Saturday.
The AICC poll panel, which includes Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi , met for over two hours to clear around 30 seats, and sources said, 20 pending seats were being discussed separately. The party released a list of 48 candidates on Thursday. Rahul Gandhi is learnt to have advised party members to stay prepared on all the possible seats that Congress can get, so that the party is not caught off guard at the last moment when the seat-sharing is announced.
