The sena UBT proposed a 100,100 and 88 seat sharing formula for itself, Congress and NCP, also some alliance of small party with each party could also be part of this seat sharing.
In the discussion Nana Patole wanted 125 seats for the congress which led to a conflict between him and Sanjay Raut. According to the sources provided by congress, UBT is seeking seat in the area where congress has a strong arc and chances of winning like Bandra East and Nagpur south.
