Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi agreed that there has been a delay in seat-sharing talks, but she is hopeful that things will settle down soon and seat allocation for most of the states will be announced. Chaturvedi told PTI, “Like the Trinamool Congress, I would also say that the Congress will have to show a more 'big heart', considering that we are not fighting for our lives, but for the lives of millions more.” Fighting for the lives of billions of people who matter in this country.
On seat sharing in Maharashtra, he said, “I am confident that things will progress smoothly.” He said that except a few seats, most of the seats have been decided and the seat list will be released “soon”.

Are in 'situation'.
Chaturvedi also said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has not finalized the seat sharing and none of its 42 allies has any information about the seat allocation. Chaturvedi also took a dig at the BJP over the re-entry of Nitish Kumar led Janata Dal-United (JDU) into the NDA. “If they are so confident that they are going to win the trust of the people of India and win more than 400 seats, then what is the need to roll out the red carpet for a person who was part of the 'India' alliance,” he asked. '
TMC chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while targeting Congress for taking out 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in her state, had said that Congress is not likely to win even 40 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Mamata had said on Friday, “I proposed that Congress contest elections on those 300 seats (where BJP is the main opposition), but they refused to pay attention to it.” Now he has come to the state to excite the Muslim voters, I doubt whether he will be able to secure even 40 seats out of 300 if he contests the elections.
Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D. Raja on Sunday said that the constituent parties of 'India' should trust each other after taking appropriate lessons from the assembly elections held in five states last year. Raja told 'PTI-Bhasha', “For the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Congress should be more liberal in giving seats to the Left and other parties.” Of. Premchandran said that the opposition will have to be more serious in the matter of seat-sharing discussion and state-wise election strategy.

Kerala MP Premachandran said that Nitish Kumar has left the alliance, Mamata Banerjee's stand is 'different' and Arvind Kejriwal is also 'not happy' with the current political developments. Premchandran felt that Nitish Kumar's exit would benefit 'India' as people would not support the 'opportunistic' behavior of the JDU chief. He said, “I think there will be a big response from the people of Bihar and it will be visible in the next elections.”
