The Maharashtra assembly polls are likely to be held next month. The term of the current assembly ends on November 26.

"We will discuss the seats and then the [BJP] central parliamentary board will meet on Sunday, October 13. Talks on 90 per cent seats have been completed. The remaining 10 per cent will be completed in the next three days," Bawankule told reporters.
