SEAT-SHARING TALKS IN MAHA SPARK THIRD FRONT QUESTIONS

The major alliance partners in both the Maha Vikas Aghadi and Mahayuti camps are facing confusion over seat sharing. Sources indicate that in each alliance, there are at least three strong candidates in each constituency vying for tickets.

This situation has led to speculation that both alliances could face difficulties on the electoral ground, with the potential for a strong third front to emerge.

According to leaders aware of the developments, those who are overlooked or denied tickets in both alliances might rebel, forming a third front or joining an existing group, potentially disrupting the electoral balance of both alliances.

A political analyst in the state stated, "There are three parties in both the Maha Vikas Aghadi and Mahayuti camps. In each party, there are aspirants for every seat, but when the alliance forms, seats have to be shared among partners.
