Ramdas Athawale, whose party is a constituent in the BJP-led NDA, said he wants to contest the Lok Sabha polls from the Shirdi seat in Maharashtra.
Union minister Ramdas Athawale on Tuesday demanded two seats for his Republican Party of India (A) to contest in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Mr Athawale, whose party is a constituent in the BJP-led NDA, also said he wants to contest the Lok Sabha polls from the Shirdi seat in Maharashtra.
In an interview to PTI-Bhasha, the RPI(A) leader said he would talk to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard, if required.
Mr Athawale also said any controversy on the issue of Maratha reservation is not right and his party believes that a quota can be given to the community in Maharashtra by creating a separate category on the lines of Tamil Nadu.
