A senior BJP leader involved in the election campaign in the state told that seat-sharing will be decided between the saffron party and its allies in the next two days.

As per the information accessed, the BJP will discuss the names of candidates in the core group meeting in Chandigarh next week. After that, the party’s high command in the national capital will deliberate on the probable candidates’ list sent by the state unit.
