Hyderabad : Seat sharing talks among allies of Mahakutami would be finalised by Monday, a source of Mahakutami said. A meeting in this connection was held in a hotel at Lakdikapul to discuss in detail about sharing of seats. It was attended by Congress leaders and TJS representatives. They discussed on number of seats to be allotted among kutami allies. However, a final decision would come by Monday. Congress state affairs incharge Kuntiya, PCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy, Kodandaram, Dilip Kumar and others participated in the meeting.
After the meeting, TJS president Kodandaram clarified that his party candidates would not contest elections on Congress party symbol.
