Ahead of the state assembly elections scheduled in Maharashtra later this year, the first meeting of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Screening Committee was held in the national capital on Thursday.
The meeting was chaired by Maharashtra Pradesh Screening Committee President Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Sharing details of the meeting, Maharashtra PCC president Balasaheb Thorat said, "Seat distribution was the main topic on which the discussion took place in today's meeting."
"The second meeting will be held on September 5," he added.
The issue of seat-sharing is expected to get finalised in the next meeting of the screening committee, party sources said.
The meeting of the screening committee was attended by the members of Maharashtra Pradesh Screening Committee Harish Chaudhary and Manickam Tagore.
