The Congress and NCP might fight together in the upcoming General Elections, in a bid to keep the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) out of power.
The two parties, according to several media reports, might contest in 20 seats each in Maharashtra.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress, however, has been ignored by the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which are reportedly forming an alliance to dethrone the saffron brigade.
