According to the formula, the BJP will contest 11 seats, the Shinde-led Sena will contest 4 seats, and the Sunetra Ajit Pawar-led NCP will contest 2 seats.
Sources said that the BJP stand, which was discussed at a meeting of the Sunetra Ajit Pawar-led NCP on Tuesday evening, has not gone down well with her partymen.
There is a strong possibility that traditional seats will be swapped in some constituencies to resolve the seat distribution rift within the BJP-led ruling Mahayuti alliance partners.
The development comes after the sidelining of senior leaders of the party like Sumil Tatkare and Praful Patel met Sharad Pawar a few days ago after they were sidelined within the party by Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar.
A secret informal meeting held recently by Sharad Pawar-led NCP leaders with other political figures at a Pune hotel revived the possibility of a merger between the two NCP factions: the Sharad Pawar-led NCP and the Sunetra Ajit Pawar-led NCP. This followed the leak of a photograph from the meeting to social media on Thursday.
