'Congress Will Discuss Alliance Matters Only With Uddhav Thackeray & Sharad Pawar, Says Former Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan

New Delhi: The Congress will discuss alliance matters only with Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar and leave the decision on a “suballiance” to them, former CM Prithviraj Chavan said amid speculation that the Thackeray cousins and the NCP factions may join hands.

Chavan, however, made it clear that if the NCP merger happens and if that party goes with the NDA, it would be difficult for the Congress to continue the alliance with them.

In an interview with PTI, the senior Congress leader dubbed the talk of coming together of Sena (UBT) and MNS as a family matter. “If the person is against the values of the Congress, then we will object. Otherwise, it is a family matter and how they do seat adjustments in case we go with an alliance (in the local body polls),” Chavan said.
