Uddhav Thackeray is all set to defeat the Congress in the seat-sharing talks. He prevailed over Congress, which had to vacate the claim over certain seats. The ex-CM hasn't spared smaller allies of the Lok Sabha elections for not helping his party. Sena (UBT) has put up candidates where the left-wing Peasants and Workers' Party has its nominees. Thackeray had also ensured PWP leader Jayant Patil's defeat in the MLC polls in June. Thackeray also named some candidates for the constituencies that, according to the Congress, weren't finalised. However, it emerged later that the Congress had conceded the seats, like for example Versova and Bandra East, inviting the ire of local aspirants. There could be more such segments. Fingers are being pointed at the senior leaders, who have managed to get seats for their kin, friends and supporters, but not for the party loyalists elsewhere.
