The Samajwadi Party (SP) has put forth a request for 12 seats from the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition in the impending Maharashtra assembly elections, according to party chief Akhilesh Yadav.

In a press conference held in Maharashtra's Dhule district, Yadav revealed that the party has already nominated candidates in key constituencies, including those where sitting members belong to the SP and others where the party feels confident about its support base.
