Maha Saga: BJP broke alliance with Sena as it wanted to tie up with NCP, says Uddhav
Mumbai: As Maharashtra is heading for a multi-cornered battle, political parties are accusing each other for breaking the alliance. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has accused its former ally Bharatiya Janata Party of breaking the 25-year-old partnership. In his first interview after parting ways with the BJP, Uddhav said the former wanted to tie up with the Nationalist Congress Party.
Uddhav said, "The talks doing the round is that the BJP broke the alliance with Shiv Sena as it may join hands with the NCP." On the question of next chief minister if Maharashtra, Uddhav said if someone dared me, I will be the Chief Minister. He said, "If the opposition dares me, I'm ready to be the chief minister of Maharashtra. I will prove myself. I have the support of Maharashtra people and the blessings of Bala Saheb and other ancestors.BJP broke alliance with Sena as it wanted to tie up with NCP, says Uddhav
The Shiv Sena and BJP broke the alliance over the seat sharing issue for Maharashtra Assembly elections. The Sena was adamant on contesting on at least 150 seats and the BJP demanded 130 seats for itself and 12 for other allies. Both the parties refused to budge on the issue to resolve the impasse.
Uddhav said, "What's wrong with demanding 151 seats? If we took one seat of Goa from them, we gave them two seats in return. What happened suddenly that Shiv Sena became so small and BJP became so big? My agenda is of Hindutava and Marathi. Earlier, we used to discuss seat sharing in the state level.
For the first time the BJP sent its representative from the Centre." The voting to elect the 288-member Assembly is on October 15 and the counting is on October 19.
