"The way they (secular alliance) ditched us while deciding seats it seems there is no room left for talks with it...It seems we are left with only one option - that is to form a third front with Left and other parties," NCP General Secretary Tariq Anwar told PTI.
"The way they (secular alliance) treated us where is the question of going with them?" a peeved Anwar said.
"The three distributed seats among themselves and left us on the road," he added.
"Being a Lok Sabha MP I have a minimum claim over six assembly seats but they (secular alliance) gave us only three and that too without talking to me," he said, adding, it appeared alliance parties were overconfident that Muslims in particular were with them and they did not need him.

"We came to know about distribution of 100 seats each for JD(U) and RJD, 40 to Congress leaving rest 3 for us in grand secular alliance from TV and newspapers...It is great humiliation for NCP in the hands of secular parties," he added.
"The Left Front comprising CPI-ML, CPI, CPI-M, Forward Bloc and SUCI have promised to get back to NCP after August 30," the NCP general secretary said.
NCP was also in talks with the party of former union minister Nagmani and some other groups, he said but categorically ruled out any tie-up with Janadhikar Party of expelled RJD MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav.
Janadhikar Party has shown inclination to have some sort of poll arrangement with BJP, hence there was no chance of fighting the poll with them, he said.
