INDIA bloc seat sharing: Mamata Banerjee keen to test Bengal waters 'alone', UBT Sena not willing to 'compromise'

The opposition's INDIA bloc faces uncertainty as partners hint at going alone in the Lok Sabha elections. Shiv Sena (UBT) asserts its position as the biggest party in Maharashtra and refuses to compromise on seat-sharing. Mamata Banerjee expresses her desire for the TMC to fight alone in Bengal against the BJP. However, the INDIA alliance will contest on all seats across the country. Congress approaches seat-sharing talks with an open mind, taking into consideration the different challenges in each state.
