MUMBAI, AUG 8: Leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) today held talks over seat adjustment for the coming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Maharashtra.

NCP State unit Chief Chhagan Bhujbal and SP leader Abuasim Azmi discussed “resolving claims and counter-claims of the two parties over some of the seats in the state over which a dispute has been going on for some time now”, NCP sources said.
