SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
While all eye are set on the future of grand BJP-Shiv Sena alliance for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly polls, the state’s BJP wing has proposed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah that they should fight the elections alone rather than sharing seats, as per reports on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the BJP’s central election committee meeting is underway to decide on whether the party will contest alone or continue seat-sharing with its oldest ally.
Also, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today rolled out a final formula and offered 119 seats to BJP while keeping 151 seats for his own party.
Addressing party workers on Sunday, after a meeting of the party’s state executive here, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said, “Party workers have given me authority to take a decision and I’ll do it with responsibility, keeping everything in mind. We are making last effort to save the alliance.”
Uddhav further admitted that there is a ‘tug of war’ in alliance with the BJP, as the two coalition partners slug it out for more seats in the Assembly elections.
“Many faces have been unmasked during polls time, have taken a decision, will announce it soon,” Uddhav added.
Sena’s top brass is meeting at Matoshree to finalise the names to the candidates for the Assembly polls.
The election in Maharashtra are due in October.
