NCP(SP) leader Anil Deshmukh said opposition parties are spreading fake news that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is upset over seat-sharing in MVA. "Congress leaders like Balasaheb Thorat and Nana Patole have held meetings with NCP(SP) and Shiv Sena(UBT) leaders that went well," he added. The decision regarding seat sharing has been taken based on merit, Deshmukh stated.
