Mumbai: After the defeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Maharashtra in the Lok Sabha elections, Shinde Shiv Sena leaders have indicated that they will not interfere with the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections. In such a situation, there is a possibility of a tussle in the allocation of seats in the assembly elections to be held in the state in the coming days in the Mahayuti. It has been learned that Shinde is threatening that if the Chief Minister bows down to the BJP, then as an alternative, he will include Shiv Sena leaders in Uddhav Thackeray.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which performed poorly in the Lok Sabha elections, will no longer be under pressure from BJP's allies regarding seat sharing and selection of candidates in the upcoming state assembly elections. Sources said that Shiv Sena under the leadership of Eknath Shinde has made it clear that it will no longer tolerate interference from the BJP. In such a situation, it has been learned that Shinde Sena leaders have started taking an open stand against the BJP state leadership.
Such a situation has arisen for Chief Minister Eknath Shinde that some leaders of his party have raised their heads. If Eknath Shinde does not trust these leaders, then there is also an option for him to join Uddhav Thackeray's party Shiv Sena, such is the discussion in the political corridors.
In the Lok Sabha elections, Mahayuti, which had set a target of 45 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra, got only 17 seats. In which BJP's seats have come down from 23 to 9. BJP, which contested on 28 seats, could not even reach double digits. This has increased the importance of Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena. Shinde contested on 15 seats and won seven seats.
The interesting thing is that the strike rate of Shinde Shiv Sena is more than that of BJP. Due to this, the voice of Shinde Shiv Sena has become louder in the Mahayuti.
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed his desire to step down, taking responsibility for the BJP's defeat. Then Shinde has adopted an aggressive stance against Shiv Sena. According to the information received, anger against BJP has increased in Shinde Sena, because BJP leaders had interfered in our party during the Lok Sabha elections.
BJP paid a lot of attention to seat sharing and candidate selection. BJP had claimed to contest from South Mumbai, Nashik, Hingoli Yavmal seats, but time was wasted as BJP delayed the allocation of these seats. The delay in seat allocation and delay in announcing candidates caused loss to the party. BJP interfered a lot.
This kind of interference in the assembly elections of Hawaii state will not count. Our strike rate in Lok Sabha is higher than BJP. Therefore, the stand of Shinde Sena leaders is that Shinde will lead the Mahayuti in the assembly, we will not tolerate any interference at that time.
