In response to a question, Santosh Suman said that we party never talked about seats. We have left the Grand Alliance not for seats but to save the existence of the party. There was pressure on us to merge the party. Till now we have not demanded any seat from anyone. We have only said that we are preparing for elections in five Lok Sabha constituencies. Any demand will be placed only when there is talk on the seat. Every party prepares for elections in some area. There are possibilities of getting a seat in those areas only. We are going to Delhi in search of those possibilities.
