Raju Shetti to meet Laxman Mane in bid to unite opposition

In a  fresh move to unite all opposition parties, farmer leader Raju Shetti has decided to meet Laxman Mane, who has formed a new party, Maharashtra Bahujan Agadhi, after quitting Vanchit Bahujan Agadhi. The meeting is aimed to bring all anti-BJP forces under one roof.
“I heard that Laxman Mane will be in Sangli district in the next few days…I have decided to meet him to strengthen opposition unity,” said Shetti on Monday. He heads the Swabhi-mani Paksha.
Mane said he was keen to meet Shetti. “There is a need to create strong opposition to take on the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in the ensuing election. I will not have any problem in meeting Shetti and discussing a roadmap for us,” he said. Shetti associates, however, said the farmer leader was keen to meet Prakash Ambedkar, who heads the Vanchit Bahujan Agadhi. But Ambedkar does not have any plans to join the Congress-NCP alliance, sources said.
