Summary:

KOLHAPUR: The Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi, floated by Prakash Ambedkar, is ready to wait for two more days for final negotiations with the Congress. Both the parties are also reluctant because Ambedkar has already joined hands with Asaddudin Owaisi’s All India Majlis — E- Itehadul Muslimeen. Sources in the Congress and NCP said that both the parties are unhappy as Ambedkar has also asked for three important seats, which include — Madha, Baramati and Nanded. They point out that the party had already given up one seat for Raju Shetti , in order to accommodate smaller parties. Ambedkar’s party has announced almost two dozen candidates in Maharashtra and want to contest 23 seats, which would leave the Congress and NCP 25 with seats.Neither the Congress nor the NCP is in a mood to accept Ambedkar’s demand..
