The Republican Party of India (RPI) on Saturday said that it wanted to contest on 10 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly elections slated to be held later this year.
"In the state elections, RPI, Shiv Sena, and BJP will contest the elections together. We have demanded 10 seats. I spoke to the chief minister in this regard and has assured me of positive response," RPI President Ramdas Athawale told reporters here.
It may be noted that RPI is a part of the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra.
