Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal on Thursday said the Congress expects to contest a Legislative Council seat in the upcoming biennial elections if Uddhav Thackeray does not seek renomination.
The demand comes amid internal seat-sharing discussions within the Opposition alliance, as political equations begin to take shape ahead of the May 12 elections.
