No discussion with Left

A day after speculative reports on social media about the Congress party’s seat-sharing pact meeting with Left parties, AICC Telangana incharge Manikrao Thakare said officially no such discussions took place. Pacts were party’s ideology-based decisions and such decisions would not be taken without the involvement of TPCC president Revanth Reddy and CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka, he said in a chit-chat with the media here on Monday.
