Doubt in Parallelism

[Tipu]

"Political parties work actively towards seat sharing and grabbing power and are woefully unmindful of the people's needs"

In the above sentence there are two things mentioned "seat sharing" and "grabbing power".... My doubt is that whether this sentence should be classified as wrong since it does not confer to the rule of 'Parallelism'... because i think it needs to be "seat sharing" and "power grabbing".

Is this a valid sentence?

so, i'll assume that you got this sentence from here.

importantly, note that 'seat-sharing' is hyphenated in the original text, making it a single word; also, note that 'grabbing power' is followed by an essential modifier (grabbing power for their benefit). individually, but especially taken together, these considerations mean that the two structures aren't going to be exactly parallel no matter what, so that the ostensible lack of parallelism you've cited is less of an issue.

if those words were to be non-hyphenated and taken alone, then i agree that your version is better.
